IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA CHRISTOPHER MCHALE, Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION No. 16-3783 v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL,1 Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration Defendant. ORDER AND NOW, this 31st day of July, 2017, upon consideration of the Report and Recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge Timothy R. Rice, (ECF No. 14), to which no party has objected, it is hereby ORDERED that: 1. The Report and Recommendation is APPROVED and ADOPTED;2 2. The Plaintiff’s request for review is GRANTED; and 3. The matter is REMANDED to the Commissioner for further review consistent with the Report and Recommendation. BY THE COURT: /s/ Gerald J. Pappert GERALD J. PAPPERT, J. Nancy A. Berryhill became the Acting Commissioner for Social Security on January 23, 2017. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d), Ms. Berryhill should be substituted for the former Acting Commissioner, Carolyn Colvin, as the defendant in this action. 1 When no objection is made to a Report and Recommendation, the Court should, as a matter of good practice, “satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b) advisory committee notes; see also Oldrati v. Apfel, 33 F. Supp. 2d 397, 399 (E.D. Pa. 1998). No clear error appears on the face of the record and the Court accordingly accepts Judge Rice’s recommendation. 2
