IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
EASTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA
LOYAL MANTOOTH,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. CIV-14-438-RAW-SPS
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting
Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration,
Defendant.
ORDER REMANDING CASE FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS
On March 3, 2016, the United States Magistrate Judge entered a Report and
Recommendation, recommending that the above-styled case be reversed and remanded for
further proceedings. The Magistrate Judge found that the ALJ failed to properly analyze the
opinions of Plaintiff’s treating physicians and that the decision of the Commissioner is not
supported by substantial evidence and the correct legal standards were not applied. The
Government filed an objection on March 16, 2016, requesting that the court affirm the final
agency decision.
Upon full consideration of the entire record and the issues herein, this court finds that the
Magistrate Judge’s recommendation to reverse the ALJ’s decision and remand this action for
further proceedings is well-supported. Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the
United States Magistrate Judge is hereby affirmed and adopted as this court’s Findings and
Order.
1
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the decision of the Administrative Law Judge is
hereby REVERSED and this case is hereby REMANDED pursuant to the fourth sentence of 42
U.S.C. §405(g) for further administrative proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 22nd day of March, 2016.
