ORDER
On August 31, 2016, the United States Magistrate Judge for this District filed a
Report and Recommendation in this case. On September 14, 2016, Defendant filed on
Objection to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation. Defendant argues that
Plaintiff did not raise the issues which the Magistrate argued needed further evaluation.
Further, Defendant argues that further evaluation of the issues will not change the
outcome.
First, the court finds that the Plaintiff adequately addressed the issues on which
the Magistrate Judge remanded the case. The court overrules the Defendant’s Objection.
The Report and Recommendation suggests that the case be REVERSED AND
REMANDED for further administrative proceeding. This Court finds the Report and
Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge applied the proper standards and documents
numerous references to the record which support the recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge that the Secretary's decision be REVERSED AND REMANDED.
Upon consideration of the entire record and the issues herein, this Court finds and
orders that the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge be
SUSTAINED and adopted by this Court as this Court's Findings and Order. Accordingly,

this case is REVERSED AND REMANDED to the defendant under the fourth sentence
of 42 U.S.C. §405(g) for proceedings consistent with this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 21st day of September, 2016.
