Magistrate Judge’s Memorandum and Recommendation were to be filed in
writing within fourteen (14) days of service. [Id. at 14]. The period within
which to file objections has now expired, and no written objections to the
Memorandum and Recommendation have been filed.
After a careful review of the Memorandum and Recommendation, the
Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge’s proposed conclusions of law
are correct and consistent with current case law. Accordingly, the Court
accepts the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation that the Commissioner’s
decision be vacated and that this case be remanded for further administrative
proceedings.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Memorandum and
Recommendation [Doc. 8] is ACCEPTED. Pursuant to the power of this
Court to enter a judgment affirming, modifying or reversing the decision of
the Commissioner under Sentence Four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), the decision
of the Commissioner is REVERSED, and this case is hereby REMANDED
to the Commissioner for further administrative proceedings consistent with
this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
