IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION

Vickie Autman Ross,

Case No. 3:16CV1209
Plaintiff

v.

ORDER

Nancy A. Berryhill,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant

This is a Social Security case in which the plaintiff, Vickie Autman Ross, appeals the
Commissioner’s decision denying her application for benefits.
Pending is Magistrate Judge Parker’s Report and Recommendation, which found that the
administrative law judge did not: 1) adequately explain why he gave the weight he did to the opinion
of Dr. Hammerly, plaintiff’s consulting psychologist; and 2) give good reasons for rejecting the
opinion of plaintiff’s treating psychiatrist, Dr. Zhalkovska. (Doc. 18 at 15–20, 21–26).
The Magistrate Judge accordingly recommended that I vacate the Commissioner’s decision
and remand the case to the agency for further proceedings. (Id. at 27).
The Commissioner filed a response stating that she has no objections to the R&R. (Doc. 19).
It is, therefore,
ORDERED THAT:
1.

The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 18) be, and the same
hereby is, adopted as the order of the court; and

2.

The Commissioner’s decision be, and the same hereby is, vacated, and the case is
remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

So ordered.
/s/ James G. Carr
Sr. U.S. District Judge
