Currently before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 12) dated April 26,
2012, by the Honorable James R. Marschewski, Chief United States Magistrate Judge for the

parties. The Court has reviewed this case, and being well and sufficiently advised, finds that the
Report and Recommendation is proper and should be adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, the Court
hereby adopts the Report and Recommendation; reverses the decision of the administrative law
judge; and remands this case to the Commissioner for further consideration pursuant to sentence four
of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
If plaintiff wishes to request an award of attorney's fees and costs under the Equal Access to
Justice Act (EAJA) 28 U.S.C. § 2412, an application may be filed up until 30 days after the judgment
becomes "not appealable" i.e., 30 days after the 60-day time for appeal has ended. See Shalala v.
Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 296 (1993); 28 U.S.C. §§2412(d)(1)(B),(d)(2)(G).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 23rd day of May, 2012.
