ORDER REMANDING CASE FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS
On August 22, 2017, Magistrate Judge Shreder entered a Report and Recommendation
in the above-referenced case, recommending that this court reverse the Commissioner’s
decision upholding on appeal the findings of the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”), denying
benefits to plaintiff. Defendant filed an objection which has been duly considered.
Upon full consideration of the entire record and the issues herein, this court finds that
the Magistrate Judge’s findings are supported by substantial evidence and the prevailing legal
authority. Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate
Judge is hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as this court’s Findings and Order. The
decision of the Secretary is reversed and this case is remanded to Defendant pursuant to the
fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. §405(g) for further administrative proceedings.
ORDERED THIS 26th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2017.
