OPINION 

This Social Security case is now before the court on

the recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge

that defendant Commissioner of Social Security’s decision

should be affirmed. Also before the court are

plaintiff’s objections to the recommendation. After an

independent and de novo review of the record, the court

concludes that plaintiff’s objections should be overruled

and the magistrate judge’s recommendation adopted. Even

if Ellington v. Astrue, 2008 WL 1805435 (M.D. Ala. 2008)

Coody, M.J.), were to apply, it is apparent that the ALJ

sufficiently separated the three inquiries demanded under

Ellington.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 30th day of January, 2009.
