RILEY v. BERRYHILL (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

George Otto Carl RILEY, Plaintiff−Appellant, v. Nancy A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant−Appellee.

No. 18-51052

Decided: June 07, 2019

Before SMITH, WIENER, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.

George Otto Carl Riley, Pro Se Jose Ricardo Hernandez, Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, Social Security Administration, Office of the General Counsel Region VI, Dallas, TX, for Defendant - Appellee

George Riley, pro se, appeals a judgment denying review of the final action of the Acting Commissioner of Social Security rejecting his claim for Title II disability benefits. The magistrate judge issued a detailed and persuasive fifteen-page Report and Recommendation advising that the final decision of the Commissioner should be affirmed. Over Riley’s objection, the district court accepted and adopted the Report and Recommendation and sustained the administrative law judge’s denial of benefits.

We have reviewed the applicable law, the briefs, and pertinent parts of the administrative record. There is no reversible error. The judgment is AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons advanced by the magistrate judge.
