Defendant.

This case was assigned to United States District Court Judge Clark Waddoups, who then
referred it to United States Magistrate Evelyn J. Furse under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). An
Administrative Law Judge denied Mr. Jared Harmer disability insurance benefits under Titles II
and XVI of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 401-434, 1381-1383f. Mr. Harmer asks the
court to reverse the Social Security Administration’s decision and to grant him disability
benefits. Mr. Harmer also requested that the court award attorney fees pursuant to the Equal
Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412.
On August 3, 2017, Judge Furse issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending
that the Commissioner’s decision be remanded and that the court award a reasonable attorney
fee. Having reviewed the record de novo, the court hereby APPROVES AND ADOPTS Judge
Furse’s Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Accordingly, this case is REMANDED. Mr.
Harmer is ordered to submit evidence on the amount of reasonable attorney fees claim in
compliance with the local rules on or before February 23, 2017.

SO ORDERED this 8th day of February 2018.
