CIVIL ACTION 4:17-CV-552-Y

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION
On February 23, 2018, the United States magistrate judge issued his proposed findings,
conclusions, and recommendation in the above-styled and -numbered cause (doc. 14). An order issued
that same day gave all parties fourteen days thereafter to serve and file with the Court written objections
to the proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the magistrate judge. No written
objections have been received from either party. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Assoc., 79 F.3d
1415, 1428-29 (5th Cir. 1996). As a result, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), de novo review is
not required. Nevertheless, the Court has reviewed the magistrate judge's findings, conclusions, and
recommendation for plain error and has found none.
Thus, after consideration of this matter, the Court concludes that the findings and conclusions of
the magistrate judge should be and are hereby ADOPTED as the findings and conclusions of this Court.
It is, therefore, ORDERED that the Commissioner's decision is REVERSED and this matter is
REMANDED to the Commissioner for further administrative proceedings consistent with the magistrate
judge's opinion.
SIGNED April 19, 2018.
