CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:12-CV-509 (MTT)

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Recommendation of Magistrate Judge
Charles H. Weigle (Doc. 17) to reverse and remand the Plaintiff’s case pursuant to
sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further administrative action. The Magistrate
Judge found that the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) failed to consider a substantial
portion of the Plaintiff’s medical evidence in either the May 2011 or August 2011
decision,1 thereby not enabling the Court to conduct meaningful judicial review. The
Commissioner did not object to the Recommendation.
The Court has reviewed the Recommendation, and the Court accepts and adopts
the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge. The
Recommendation is ADOPTED and made the order of this Court. Accordingly, the
case is REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings.

1

The August 2011 decision addresses the Plaintiff’s Title XVI claims not addressed in the initial
decision.

SO ORDERED, this 6th day of December, 2013.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
