Case No. CIV-13-1368-D

ORDER
Plaintiff brought this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §405(g) for review of the Defendant
Commissioner of the Social Security Administration’s final decision denying Plaintiff’s application
for supplemental security income under the Social Security Act. The matter was referred to United
States Magistrate Judge Gary M. Purcell for initial proceedings in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §636
(b)(1)(B). The parties fully briefed their respective positions and on December 2, 2014, the
Magistrate Judge filed his Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 13] in which he recommended
that the Court reverse the decision of the Commissioner and remand the matter for further
proceedings.
In the Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge advised the parties of the right to
file objections to the same and directed the parties to file any objections no later than December 22,
2014. The Magistrate Judge further admonished the parties that failure to timely object would
constitute a waiver of the right to appeal. The deadline for filing objections has expired and to date,
neither party has filed objections or sought an extension of time in which to do so. Accordingly,
the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No.13] is ADOPTED as though fully set forth herein.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the decision of the Commissioner denying Plaintiff’s
application for supplemental security income is REVERSED. This matter is REMANDED to the
Commissioner for further administrative proceedings, as more fully set forth in the Report and
Recommendation.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of December, 2014.
