v.
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
DAVID R. GRAND

Defendant.
______________________________/

ORDER ACCEPTEDING AND ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDTION [#14] GRANTING IN PART PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#8] AND DENYING DEFENDANT’S
MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#18]
This matter is before the Court on cross motions for summary judgment as to
judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision disallowing benefits to Plaintiff.
The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge David R. Grand, who issued a Report
and Recommendation on December 19, 2017, recommending that the Court grant
in part Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment and deny Defendant’s Motion for
Summary Judgment. Dkt. No. 14, pg. 11 (Pg. ID 8247). Neither party has filed
objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, and the time for
filing objections has expired. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Upon review of the
parties’ briefing and the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, the
Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge reached the correct conclusion.
1

Therefore, the Court hereby ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Grand’s
December 19, 2017 Report and Recommendation [#14] as this Court’s findings of
fact and conclusions of law. Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is
GRANTED IN PART to the extent it seeks remand and DENIED IN PART to the
extent that it seeks benefits. Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is
DENIED. This case shall be remanded to the administrative law judge for further
proceedings consistent with Magistrate Judge Grand’s Report and
Recommendation.
SO ORDERED.
