UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
ORLANDO DIVISION
MARTHA GOODING,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 6:18-cv-348-Orl-37LRH

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.
_____________________________________
ORDER
In this social security appeal, Plaintiff seeks review of the Commissioner’s decision
to deny her social security disability benefits. (Doc. 1.) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge
Leslie R. Hoffman recommends the Court reverse the Commissioner’s decision and
remand for further proceedings. (Doc. 25 (“R&R”).)
The parties did not object to the R&R, and the time for doing so has now passed.
Absent objections, the Court has examined the R&R only for clear error. See Wiand v. Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 8:12-cv-557-T-27EAJ, 2016 WL 355490, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 28, 2016);
see also Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding no such error,
the Court concludes that the R&R is due to be adopted in its entirety.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman’s Report and Recommendation
(Doc. 25) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order.

2.

The Commissioner’s final decision is REVERSED AND REMANDED for
-1-

further proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
3.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff Martha
Gooding and against Defendant Commissioner of Social Security and to
close this case.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on May 16, 2019.
