Benjamin Todd, Plaintiff, v. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
JACK ZOUHARY, U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Benjamin Todd applied for Social Security disability benefits in 2018 (Doc. 12 at 1). After denials at all stages of the administrative process, he filed a Complaint in this Court (Doc. 1). The Complaint seeks judicial review of the Commissioner's determination that Todd is not entitled to benefits (id. at 1-2).
The case was automatically referred to Magistrate Judge Thomas Parker under Local Civil Rule 72.2(b)(1) (Non-Doc. Entry 6/23/2020). He then issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) which recommends the case be remanded for further administrative proceedings. As outlined in the R&R, the Administrative Law Judge relied on improper reasoning, gave inadequate explanations, and “failed to build an accurate and logical bridge between the evidence and his conclusion that [the] opinion[s] [were] substantially inconsistent with the medical record” (Doc. 15 at 13-17).
The Commissioner does not object to this conclusion (Doc. 16). Having reviewed the R&R, this Court adopts it in its entirety. The Clerk shall reverse and remand this case for further administrative proceedings consistent with this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
