REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before this Court is Defendant’s Motion to Remand. ECF No. 16. Plaintiff does not oppose
this Motion. Pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and (3) (2005), the Honorable P.
K. Holmes, III referred this case to this Court for the purpose of making a report and
recommendation. In accordance with that referral, this Court enters the following report and
recommendation.
Defendant requests Plaintiff’s case be remanded. ECF No. 16. Defendant requests this
remand so the ALJ may conduct further administrative proceedings and to obtain a complete record.
Id.
Based upon the foregoing, this Court recommends Defendant’s Motion to Remand (ECF No.
16) be GRANTED and Plaintiff’s case be remanded, pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. §
405(g), to the Social Security Administration for further administrative review.
The parties have fourteen (14) days from receipt of this Report and Recommendation
in which to file written objections pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The failure to file timely
objections may result in waiver of the right to appeal questions of fact. The parties are
1
reminded that objections must be both timely and specific to trigger de novo review by the
district court. See Thompson v. Nix, 897 F.2d 356, 357 (8th Cir. 1990).
ENTERED this 4th day of January, 2017.
