DECISION and ORDER

No objections have been filed.

Based upon a careful review of the entire file and the recommendations of Magistrate Judge Peebles, the Report-Recommendation is accepted and adopted in whole. See 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1). Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that

1. The plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings is GRANTED;

2. The Commissioner's determination of no disability is VACATED; and

3. This matter is REMANDED to the Agency for further proceedings in accordance with the Report-Recommendation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
