COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Defendant. ORDER After a careful, de novo review of the file, the Court concurs with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, to which objections have been filed. (Doc. no. 18.) After thorough consideration of the grounds of alleged error in Plaintiffs briefing, (doc. no. 7), and the Acting Commissioner's responses, (doc. no. 10), the Magistrate Judge recommended that the Acting Commissioner's final decision be affirmed because (1) the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") properly rejected Plaintiffs testimony concerning the intensity, pain, and limiting effects of his back and knee conditions, (2) the ALJ properly determined Plaintiffs residual functional capacity ("RFC") after assessing all of the evidence and testimony in the record, and (3) the ALJ's decision properly incorporated the testimony of the Vocational Expert ("VE"). (See generally doc. no. 16.) Dockets.Justia.com The Court hereby OVERRULES Plaintiffs objections because they restate the claims that the Magistrate Judge has already addressed at length and do not offer any new information or evidence that warrants a deviation from the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. (See generally doc. no. 18.) Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court. Therefore, the Acting Commissioner's final decision is AFFIRMED, this civil action is CLOSED, and a final judgment is ENTERED in favor of the Acting Commissioner. id SO ORDERED this^Tday ofFebmarj^OT^at Augusta, Georgia. \ HONORABLE J.
