JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE:

Plaintiff Mark D. Williams seeks judicial review of the Social Security Commissioner’s final decision denying Williams’s disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income applications.1

Under Local Rule 72.2(b), this case was automatically referred to a Magistrate Judge for a Report and Recommendation.2 On June 25, 2021, Magistrate Judge Kathleen B. Burke issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that this Court reverse the Commissioner’s decision and remand for further proceedings.3 The parties have until July 9, 2021 to object to the Report and Recommendation.4 However, on June 28, 2021, the Commissioner filed notice that he would not object.5

If the parties do not object, the Court may adopt a Report and Recommendation without further review.6

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Burke’s Report and Recommendation, REVERSES the Commissioner’s final decision, and REMANDS for further proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
