Salisbury v. Commissioner of Social Security

Filing 16

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION. Signed by Chief Judge Gina M. Groh on 12/8/2017. (cwm)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA
MARTINSBURG

DANIEL WAYNE SALISBURY, SR.,
Plaintiff,
v.

CIVIL ACTION NO.: 3:16-CV-173
(GROH)

NANCY A. BERRYHILL,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On this day, the above-styled matter came before this Court for consideration of
the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of United States Magistrate Judge Michael J.
Aloi [ECF No. 15], entered on November 15, 2017, to which neither party filed objections.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court is required to make a de novo
review of those portions of the R&R to which objection is made. However, failure to file
objections permits the district court to review the R&R under the standard that it believes
to be appropriate, and under this circumstance, the parties’ right to de novo review is
waived. See Webb v. Califano, 468 F. Supp. 825, 830-31 (E.D. Cal. 1979).
Pursuant to Magistrate Judge Aloi’s R&R, as well as 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6, objections were due within fourteen days after entry of
the R&R. Accordingly, because no objections have been filed, this Court will review the
R&R for clear error.

In this matter, Magistrate Judge Aloi found that the administrative law judge’s
decision was not supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, it is the opinion of this
Court that Magistrate Judge Aloi’s Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 15] should be,
and is, hereby ORDERED ADOPTED. For the reasons more fully stated in the Report
and Recommendation, this Court ORDERS that the Defendant’s Motion for Summary
Judgment [ECF No. 12] is DENIED and the Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment
[ECF No. 10] is GRANTED. Moreover, The Court ORDERS that this matter be REMANDED
for further action in accordance with the R&R.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58, the Clerk is DIRECTED to enter a separate
order of judgment in favor of the Plaintiff and to transmit copies of this Order to all counsel of

record herein.
It is so ORDERED.
