ORDER
)
This matter comes before the Court for judicial review of the final decision of the
Commissioner of Social Security denying Plaintiffs application for Supplemental Security
Income ("SSI"), In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 73.02, D.S.C., this
matter was referred to the United States Magistrate Judge for pretrial handling. The Magistrate
Judge issued a Report and Recommendation on November 17, 2016 recommending that the
decision of the Commissioner be reversed and remanded to the agency because of a flawed RFC
assessment and a failure of the Appeals Council or any fact finder to weigh and reconcile new
and material information submitted to the Appeals Council, as required under Meyer v. Astrue,
662 F.3d 700, 705 (4th Cir. 2011). (Dkt. No. 26 at 26-30). The Commissioner has filed a
response to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation indicating that she will file no
objections. (Dkt. No. 29), The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation and the
record evidence and finds that the Magistrate Judge has ably addressed the factual and legal
issues in this matter. Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation as the
-1
order of this Court, REVERSES the decision of the Commissioner pursuant to Sentence Four of
42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and REMANDS the matter to the Commissioner for further proceedings
consistent with this order.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
