Case No. 1:12-CV-1285
HON. GORDON J. QUIST

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant.
____________________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The Court has reviewed the magistrate judge’s February 6, 2014 Report and
Recommendation recommending that the matter be remanded to the Commissioner for further
consideration of the evidence of record. The magistrate found that, because Bernadette Ryan, MA,
LLP, LLC had a license in psychology, she should have been considered an “acceptable medical
source” by the ALJ.
The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties on February 6, 2014. No
objections have been filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). Therefore the Court will adopt the Report
and Recommendation.
Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation
issued February 6, 2014 (docket no. 20), is ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court. This matter
is remanded to the Commissioner for further proceedings consistent with this Order.

Dated: February 26, 2014
