Case No. 13-12753

08-22-2014

RITA MAUDE VOCK, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.


ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [#15], GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#10], DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [#13], AND REMANDING CASE UNDER SENTENCE FOUR

This matter is before the Court on the parties' Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment as to Plaintiff Rita Vock's claim for judicial review of Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's denial of her application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Michael Hluchaniuk who issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") on July 24, 2014 recommending that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment be granted, Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment be denied, and the Commissioner's findings and conclusions be reversed.

Neither party has filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's R&R, and the time for filing objections has expired. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Upon review of the parties' briefing and the Magistrate Judge's R & R, the Court concludes that the Magistrate Judge reached the correct conclusion. Therefore, the Court ACCEPTS Magistrate Hluchaniuk's R&R, GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [#10], and DENIES Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [#13]. The Commissioner's findings and conclusions are REVERSED, and the Court REMANDS the case under Sentence Four.
