ORDER
On December 23, 2025, the 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 	carefully 	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 	final 	decision 	of 	the
Commissioner is UPHELD.
