Hon. Anne M. Nardacci, United States District Judge:

ORDER I. INTRODUCTION On November 29, 2021, Plaintiff Ana M. Rosas commenced this action pursuant to

(g) and 1383(c)(3) seeking judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”) denying her application for disability insurance (“DIB”) and supplemental security income (“SSI”) benefits (“Complaint”). Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff sought and was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkt. Nos. 3, 6. This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge David E. Peebles, who, on December 13, 2022, recommended that the Court grant Plaintiff’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, Dkt. No. 12, deny the Commissioner’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, Dkt. No. 16, and vacate and remand the Commissioner’s decision for further proceedings, without a directed finding of

disability, pursuant to sentence four of

(g) (“Report-Recommendation”). Dkt. No. 19. Magistrate Judge Peebles advised that under

(b)(1), the parties had fourteen days within which to file written objections and that failure to object to the Report- Recommendation within fourteen days would preclude appellate review.

. Neither party has filed any objections to the Report-Recommendation and the time for filing objections has expired. For the reasons set forth below, the Court adopts the Report-Recommendation in its entirety. II. STANDARD OF REVIEW

This court reviews de novo those portions of a magistrate judge’s report-recommendations that have been properly preserved with a specific objection. Petersen v. Astrue,

, 228–29 (N.D.N.Y. 2012);

(b)(1)(C). If no specific objections have been filed, this court reviews a magistrate judge’s report-recommendations for clear error. See Petersen,

(citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), Advisory Committee Notes: 1983 Addition). After appropriate review, “the court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.”

(b)(1)(C). III. DISCUSSION Because neither party has filed any objections to the Report-Recommendation, the Court reviews the Report-Recommendation for clear error. Magistrate Judge Peebles concluded that the Commissioner’s failure to analyze whether the Plaintiff’s reported fibromyalgia was a medically determinable impairment as required by

Social Security Ruling (“SSR”) 12-2p constituted legal error that warranted remand.1

. The Court agrees with Magistrate Judge Peebles’ conclusion. See, e.g., Wood-Callipari v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., 15-CV-0743,

, at *3-4 (N.D.N.Y. June 29, 2016) (finding remand warranted where there was no indication the ALJ applied the criteria of SSR 12-2p when concluding that the plaintiff’s fibromyalgia was not a medically determinable impairment). Having reviewed the Report-Recommendation for clear error, and found none, the Court adopts the Report-Recommendation in its entirety. IV. CONCLUSION Accordingly, the Court hereby

ORDERS that the Report-Recommendation, Dkt. No. 19, is ADOPTED in its entirety; and the Court further ORDERS that Plaintiff’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, Dkt. No. 12, is GRANTED; and the Court further ORDERS that the Commissioner’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, Dkt. No. 16, is DENIED; and the Court further

1 SSR 12–2p sets forth and accepts the diagnostic criteria propounded by the American College of Rheumatology. ORDERS that the Commissioner’s final decision denying disability benefits is VACATED; and the Court further ORDERS that this matter is REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with the Report-Recommendation, Dkt. No. 19, without a directed finding of disability, pursuant to sentence four of

(g); and the Court further ORDERS that the Clerk serve a copy of this Memorandum-Decision and Order on all parties in accordance with the Local Rules. IT IS SO ORDERED.
