CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, ACTING
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY
NO.: 13-00131-BAJ-RLB
RULING AND ORDER
On August 18, 2014, United States Magistrate Judge Richard L. Bourgeois, Jr.
issued a Report and Recommendation, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B),
recommending the Court vacate the Commissioner of Social Security’ decision, and
remand this matter for further administrative proceedings. (Doc. 16.)
The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation specifically notified the
Commissioner of Social Security that, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), she had
fourteen (14) days from the date she received the Report and Recommendation to file
written objections to the proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law, and
recommendations set forth therein. (Doc. 16, p. 1.) A review of the record indicates
that the Commissioner of Social Security failed to submit written objections.
Having
carefully
considered
the
Magistrate
Judge’s
Report
and
Recommendation, the record, and the applicable law, the Court concludes that the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation is correct, and hereby adopts its
findings of fact and conclusions of law.

that
the

Judge’s
Report
and
Recommendation (Doc. 16) is ADOPTED as the Court’s opinion herein.
