DECISION and ORDER

Currently before the Court, in this action for Social Security benefits filed by Jose Luis Cirino Matos ("Plaintiff") against Social Security Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin ("Defendant" or "Commissioner") pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), is the Report-Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart dated March 15, 2016, recommending that the Commissioner's motion for judgment on the pleadings be granted, that the Commissioner's decision denying Social Security benefits be affirmed, and that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed. (Dkt. No. 18.) Objections to the Report-Recommendation have not been filed, and the time period in which to do so has expired. (See generally Docket Sheet.) After carefully reviewing all of the papers herein, including Magistrate Judge Stewart's thorough Report-Recommendation, the Court can find no clear error in the Report-Recommendation: Magistrate Judge Stewart employed the proper standards, accurately recited the facts, and reasonably applied the law to those facts. As a result, the Report-Recommendation is accepted and adopted in its entirety; the Commissioner's motion for judgment on the pleadings is granted; the Commissioner's decision denying Social Security benefits is affirmed; and Plaintiff's Complaint is dismissed in its entirety.

ACCORDINGLY, it is

ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Stewart's Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 18) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further

ORDERED that the Commissioner's decision denying Social Security benefits is AFFIRMED; and it is further

ORDERED that Plaintiff's Complaint (Dkt. No. 1) is DISMISSED in its entirety; and it is further

ORDERED that the Clerk shall issue a Judgment for Defendant and close this action.
