UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION

CHRISTOPHER WOLFF,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No.: 2:22-cv-177-SPC-NPM

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant. / ORDER1 Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”). (Doc. 25). Judge Mizell recommends affirming the decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Neither party objects to the R&R, and the time to do so has expired. So the R&R is ripe for review. After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part,” a magistrate judge’s R&R.

as demanded by the interests of justice. See, e.g., Symonette v. V.A. Leasing Corp.,

(11th Cir. 2016); Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Plain error exists if (1) “an error occurred”; (2) “the error was plain”; (8) “it affected substantial rights”; and (4) “not correcting the error would seriously affect the fairness of the judicial proceedings.” Farley v. Nationwide Mut. Ins.,

, 1329 (11th Cir. 1999). After careful consideration and an independent review of the case, the Court finds no plain error. So it accepts and adopts the R&R in full. Accordingly, it is ORDERED: 1. United States Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 25) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED, and the findings incorporated herein. 2. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment, deny any pending motions as moot, terminate all deadlines, and close the case. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on February 13, 20238.
