§ MERCED C. V., § § Plaintiff, § § EP-22-CV-00073-FM-LS v. § § KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting § Commissioner of Social Security, § § Defendant. §

ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE On this day, the Court considered the “Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge” (“R & R”) filed in the above-captioned case by United States Magistrate Judge Leon Schydlower (“Judge Schydlower”) on July 28, 2023.1 Therein, Judge Schydlower recommends that the District Court affirm the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration’s (“Commissioner”) decision to deny Plaintiff Merced C. V.’s (“Plaintiff”) application for supplemental security income and disability insurance benefits.2 Because neither party objected to Judge Schydlower’s R & R, the court has reviewed if for clear error.3 As the court finds no clear error, the R & R will be approved and adopted in full. Consistent with the R & R, the decision of the Commissioner in denying Plaintiff’s application for supplemental security income and disability insurance will be affirmed.
