Mills v. Social Security Administration Commissioner

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
HOT SPRINGS DIVISION
HOLLY MILLS 	PLAINTIFF
v. 	Case No. 6:26-cv-06008
COMMISSIONER, SOCIAL
SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 	DEFENDANT
ORDER
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation filed on September 11, 2026, by the
Honorable Spencer G. Singleton, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
ECF No. 14. 	Judge Singleton found that the decision of the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”)
denying benefits to Plaintiff is not supported by substantial evidence and therefore recommends that
the Court reverse and remand Plaintiff’s case. Id. at 5-6. Specifically, Judge Singleton found that the
Appeals Council erred in failing to consider new material evidence. Id.
No party has filed objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to object has
passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record and
that Judge Singleton’s reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation (ECF
No. 14) in toto. Accordingly, judgment is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff, and the decision of the
Commissioner of the Social Security Administration in this matter is REVERSED. This matter is
hereby REMANDED to the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration for further
proceedings pursuant to Sentence Four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 9th day of October, 2026.
