Tyson v. Saul
Tyson v. Saul
Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
EILEEN RUTH TYSON, No. 1:21-CV-00855
Plaintiff, (Chief Judge Brann)
v. (Magistrate Judge Ormsby)
KILOLO KIJAKAZI,1 Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
ORDER AUGUST 31, 2022 Eileen Ruth Tyson filed this action seeking review of a decision by the Acting Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”) denying Tyson’s claim for social security disability benefits.2 On July 25, 2022, Magistrate Judge Peter E. Ormsby issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that this Court vacate the Commissioner’s decision, remand this matter for further proceedings, and close this case.3 No timely objections were filed to this Report and Recommendation.
1 Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d), Kilolo Kijakazi, as the successor officer to Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security, is automatically substituted as Defendant in this action. 2 Docs. 1, 11. Where no objection is made to a report and recommendation, this Court will review the recommendation only for clear error.4 Regardless of whether timely
objections are made, district courts may accept, reject, or modify—in whole or in part—the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.5 Upon review of the record, the Court finds no error—clear or otherwise—in Magistrate Judge
Ormsby’s conclusion that the Commissioner’s decision is not supported by substantial evidence. Consequently, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Magistrate Judge Peter E. Ormsby’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 20) is ADOPTED;
2. The Commissioner’s decision is VACATED, and this matter is REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this Order and Magistrate Judge Ormsby’s Report and Recommendation;
3. Final Judgment is entered in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 and sentence four of
42 U.S.C. § 405(g); 4. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case.
