CHIEF JUDGE CRENSHAW

ORDER
Pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 17) in which the
Magistrate Judge recommends granting the Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings and
Administrative Record (Doc. No. 14) and remanding the decision of the Commissioner. No
objection has been filed by the Government. The Court has carefully reviewed the Report and
Recommendation and agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s analysis. Specifically, it is necessary to
further develop the record regarding (1) the ALJ’s consideration of, and the weight accorded to,
Dr. Cruz’s medical opinion, and (2) the ALJ’s consideration of the evidence related to Plaintiff’s
cardiac conditions. Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 17) is APPROVED
AND ADOPTED; the Motion for Judgment on the Administrative Record (Doc. No. 14) is
GRANTED; and the final decision of the Commissioner is REMANDED for further
consideration as contemplated in the Report and Recommendation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
