ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The Court has reviewed the magistrate judge’s October 25, 2013 Report and
Recommendation recommending that the matter be remanded to the Commissioner for further
consideration of the evidence of record. The magistrate judge recommends that those proceedings
include an examination of the medications that Plaintiff is taking, as well as the side effects of those
medications, and the resultant impact on Plaintiff’s ability to perform work. The magistrate also
recommends consideration of the diagnosis that Plaintiff suffers from visions problems, tremors and
sleep problems, and the impact, in any, these conditions have on Plaintiff’s ability to work.
The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties on October 25, 2013. 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 October 25, 2013 (docket no. 44), is ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court. This matter
is remanded to the Commissioner for further proceedings consistent with this Order.
