MARCIA A. CRONE, District Judge.
The Plaintiff requests judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security Administration with respect to his application for disability-based benefits. This matter has been referred to the Honorable Keith Giblin, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. The magistrate judge submitted a report recommending that the decision of the Commissioner be affirmed. The court has considered the report and recommendation filed on January 28, 2020 (Doc.

After careful consideration, the court concludes that the Plaintiff's objections are without merit. Therefore, the court ACCEPTS the magistrate judge's recommendation, OVERRULES the Plaintiff's objections, and AFFIRMS the Commissioner's denial of benefits.
Plaintiff objects to the magistrate judge's determination that the ALJ's residual functional capacity properly accounted for the functional limitations related to Dixon's emphysema/COPD and the magistrate judge's determination that the ALJ properly found Dixon's schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were not medically determinable impairments. The magistrate judge correctly determined that substantial evidence supports the ALJ's treatment of Dixon's functional limitations and impairments and took into consideration the effect, or lack of effect, they had on his residual functional capacity. The magistrate judge correctly examined the ALJ's treatment of the medical evidence, the treatment of the testimony in the record, and the ALJ's determination of the residual functional capacity.
The court concludes that the magistrate judge correctly identified and discussed the points of error argued by plaintiff and analyzed the points correctly. The magistrate judge properly examined the entire record to determine that substantial evidence supports the administrative law judge's assessments and determinations and the Commissioner's denial of benefits.
Accordingly, all of the Plaintiff's objections are
