ORDER

This matter is before the court for consideration of the June 5, 2014 report
and recommendation [doc. 18] filed by United States Magistrate Judge C. Clifford
Shirley, Jr. There have been no timely objections to this report and recommendation, and
enough time has passed since its filing to treat any objections as having been waived.
See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
After careful consideration of this matter, the court is in complete
agreement with Magistrate Judge Shirley’s conclusion that each party’s summary
judgment motion should be granted in part and denied in part. The court therefore
ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the report and recommendation under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)
and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b).
It is ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the report and recommendation,
which the court adopts and incorporates into this ruling, that the Commissioner’s motion

for summary judgment [doc. 16] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART, and
plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment [doc. 14] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED
IN PART. This case is REMANDED to the Commissioner for further explanation of the
weight accorded to the opinion of treating physician Dr. Jay Warrick.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
