ORDER


This case is before the Court on Plaintiff's appeal to the district court from a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security ("Commissioner") denying her application for disability benefits (Doc.

1. That the Report and Recommendation filed February 27, 2009 (Doc. No. 23) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order.

2. The Commissioner's decision is REVERSED and REMANDED to the Commissioner under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further proceedings to allow the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") to make specific findings regarding the weight accorded to examining and non-examining physicians.

3. After remand, the Clerk is directed to close this file.

DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, Orlando, Florida.
