INTRODUCTION
This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate
Judge Amanda M. Knapp (Doc. 12), recommending that the Court remand this matter pursuant to
sentence six of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further proceedings and consideration of new evidence, and
administratively close the case subject to reopening upon motion of the parties. No objections have
been filed. For the reasons that follow, the R&R is ACCEPTED, and this matter is REMANDED to
the Commissioner.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
When objections are made to a Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, the district
court reviews the case de novo. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b)(3) provides that: “The district
judge must determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly
objected to.” As stated in the Advisory Committee Notes, “When no timely objection is filed, the
court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the
recommendation.” In Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985), the Court held that “[i]t does not

appear that Congress intended to require district court review of a magistrate judge’s factual or legal
conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard, when neither party objects to those findings.”
DECISION
This Court, having reviewed the R&R and finding no clear error, hereby ACCEPTS the
Magistrate Judge’s R&R. In accordance with that recommendation, this matter is REMANDED to
the Commissioner for further proceedings and reconsideration of the evidence in light of the updated
treatment records. Further, the Clerk shall administratively close this case subject to reopening upon
motion of the parties.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
