BETTY JEAN LINDSEY, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Hon. Gerald E. Rosen
Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder
ORDER ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
At a session of said Court, held in
the U.S. Courthouse, Detroit, Michigan
on November 20, 2013
PRESENT: Honorable Gerald E. Rosen
Chief Judge, United States District Court
On September 26, 2013, Magistrate Judge Charles E. Binder issued a Report and Recommendation ("R & R") recommending that the Court grant Plaintiff Betty Jean Lindsey's motion for summary judgment, deny the Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's motion for summary judgment, and remand this matter to the Defendant Commissioner for further proceedings. No objections have been filed to the R & R. Upon reviewing the R & R, the parties' underlying cross-motions for summary judgment, and the record as a whole, the Court concurs in the analysis of the Magistrate Judge, and adopts the R & R in its entirety.
Accordingly,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's September 26, 2013 Report and Recommendation (docket #17) is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R & R, that Plaintiff's February 25, 2013 motion for summary judgment (docket #11) is GRANTED, and that Defendant's May 31, 2013 motion for summary judgment (docket #14) is DENIED. In accordance with these rulings, this case will be remanded to the Defendant Commissioner for further proceedings consistent with the Magistrate Judge's R & R.
