ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION

Pending before the Court are Plaintiff's Objections to the Magistrate Judge's Memorandum and Recommendation ("Objections"). Dkt. 21. On August 7, 2018, this case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison. Dkt. 12. On January 25, 2019, Judge Edison filed a Memorandum and Recommendation (Dkt. 20) recommending that Motley's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 14) be DENIED and the decision of the Commissioner be AFFIRMED.

On February 8, 2019, Claimant Constance Patterson Motley filed her Objections. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court is required to "make a de novo determination of those portions of the [magistrate judge's] report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection [has been] made." After conducting this de novo review, the Court may "accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." Id.; see also FED. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).

The Court has carefully considered the Objections; the Memorandum and Recommendation; the pleadings; and the summary judgment record. The Court ACCEPTS Judge Edison's Memorandum and Recommendation and ADOPTS it as the opinion of the Court. It is therefore ORDERED that:

(1) Judge Edison's Memorandum and Recommendation (Dkt. 20) is APPROVED AND ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; (2) Motley's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 14) is DENIED; and (3) The decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED.

It is so ORDERED.
