In the R&R, Judge Brisbois recommends that Plaintiff’s request for relief be granted, the Commissioner’s request for the Court to affirm the administrative decision be denied, and this matter be remanded for further proceedings consistent with the R&R. Defendant had until August 12, 2024 to file objections to the R&R. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); D. Minn. LR 72.2(b)(1). To date, Defendant has not objected.

Grinder v. Gammon, 73 F.3d 793, 795 (8th Cir. 1996). Based on the Court’s review of the R&R and the record, the Court finds no error.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT 1. The Report and Recommendation, Doc. 16, is ACCEPTED; 2. Plaintiff’s request for relief, Doc. 13, is GRANTED, as set forth in the Report and Recommendation; 3. The Defendant’s for relief, Doc. 14, is DENIED; and 4.
