ORDER
On 	November 	26, 	2025, 	the 	Opinion 	and 	Recommendation 	of 	the
United States Magistrate Judge was filed and notice was served on
the 	parties 	in 	accordance 	with 	28 	U.S.C. 	§ 	636(b). 	Plaintiff
objected to the Recommendation. 	(Doc. 14.)
The court has reviewed the portions of the Magistrate Judge’s
report 	to 	which 	objection 	was 	made 	and 	has 	made 	a 	de 	novo
determination 	in 	accord 	with 	the 	Magistrate 	Judge’s 	report. 	The
court finds that the objections do not change the substance of the
Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation, and the court therefore adopts
the Recommendation.
IT 	IS 	THEREFORE 	ORDERED 	that 	the 	Commissioner’s 	decision
finding 	no 	disability 	is 	AFFIRMED, 	Plaintiff’s 	Dispositive 	Brief
(Doc. 	8) 	is 	DENIED, 	Defendant’s 	Dispositive 	Brief 	(Doc. 	9) 	is
GRANTED, and the action is DISMISSED with prejudice.
