ORDER ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
At a session of said Court, held in
the U.S. Courthouse, Detroit, Michigan
on
March 26, 2014
PRESENT: Honorable Gerald E. Rosen
Chief Judge, United States District Court
On January 31, 2014, Magistrate Judge Laurie J. Michelson issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R & R”) recommending that the Court grant in part Plaintiff Sheri
Riser’s motion for summary judgment, deny the Defendant Commissioner of Social
Security’s motion for summary judgment, and remand this matter to the Defendant
Commissioner under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further proceedings. No
objections have been filed to the R & R. Upon reviewing the R & R, the parties’
underlying cross-motions for summary judgment, and the record as a whole, the Court
concurs in the analysis of the Magistrate Judge, and adopts the R & R in its entirety.

Accordingly,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s
January 31, 2014 Report and Recommendation (docket #17) is ADOPTED as the opinion
of this Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R & R, that
Plaintiff’s September 5, 2013 motion for summary judgment (docket #12) is GRANTED
IN PART, and that Defendant’s October 23, 2013 motion for summary judgment (docket
#14) is DENIED. In accordance with these rulings, this case will be remanded to the
Defendant Commissioner under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further
proceedings consistent with the Magistrate Judge’s R & R.
