Phillip LAY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Andrew M. SAUL, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 19-1893

Decided: January 29, 2020

Before William J. Bauer, Circuit Judge, Frank H. Easterbrook, Circuit Judge, Michael B. Brennan, Circuit Judge

John Edward Horn, Attorney, Tinley Park, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellant Catherine A. Seagle, Attorney, Social Security Administration, Office of the General Counsel, Region V, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellee

Order

Phillip Lay’s application for disability benefits under the Social Security Act was rejected administratively, with review culminating in an adverse decision by an administrative law judge. The dispute moved to district court, where the parties agreed to have a magistrate judge make the final decision. 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). The magistrate judge concluded that the ALJ’s decision is supported by substantial evidence and does not reflect a material legal error. 2019 U.S. Dist. Lexis 41780 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 14, 2019). We substantially agree with the magistrate judge’s analysis, and on that basis the judgment is

AFFIRMED.

Young B. Kim, Magistrate Judge.
