ORDER
GEORGE C. SMITH, District Judge.
On April 13, 2015, the United States Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that Plaintiff's Statement of Errors be OVERRULED, and that the Commissioner of Social Security's Decision be AFFIRMED and final judgment be entered in favor of the Defendant. (Report and Recommendation, Doc. 21). This matter is now before the Court on Plaintiff Michael Hanson's Objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 22). The Court will consider the matter de novo. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
Plaintiff raises three main objections to the Report and Recommendation: (1) the administrative decision's step five determination lacks substantial evidence; (2) the ALJ's rejection of Dr. Dunmyer's opinion was not supported by substantial evidence; and (3) the decision's credibility assessment was not supported by substantial evidence. (See Pl.'s Objs., Doc. 22). The Court has carefully considered Plaintiff's objections, however, they were also considered and discussed by the Magistrate Judge. Therefore, for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, this Court finds that the objections are without merit.
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation, Document 21, is ADOPTED and AFFIRMED. Defendant's Objections are hereby OVERRULED.
The Clerk shall remove Documents 21 and 22 from the Court's pending motions list, and enter final judgment in favor of the Defendant, the Commissioner of Social Security.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
