ORDER
AND NOW, this 15th day of November, 2011, after careful review and independent
consideration of the plaintiff’s request for review, the defendant’s response thereto, the plaintiff’s
reply, and the Report and Recommendation of Carol Sandra Moore Wells, United States
Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1.

The Report and Recommendation, to which no objections were filed, is
APPROVED and ADOPTED;

2.

Judgment is ENTERED in favor of the plaintiff, Juana V. Sosa De Mass, and
against the defendant, Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration; and

3.

The case is REMANDED to the Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration so that the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) can conduct
additional proceedings consistent with the Report and Recommendation.
Specifically, upon remand, the ALJ shall: (a) properly assess the plaintiff’s
subjective complaints of pain; (b) reassess whether the plaintiff can perform her
past work as a housekeeper; and, if not, (c) determine whether other work exists in
the national economy that the plaintiff can perform.

It is so ORDERED.
