Skinner v. Saul

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:20-cv-00046 Ronesha Skinner, Plaintiff, v. Commissioner, Social Security Administration, Defendant.

ORDER Plaintiff Ronesha Skinner filed this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for judicial review of the commissioner’s decision to deny disability benefits. Doc. 1. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell. Doc. 4.

The magistrate judge issued a report recommending that the commissioner’s decision be reversed and the matter remanded. Doc.

13. Defendant did not object to the report and recommendation.

When a party fails to object to a magistrate judge’s report, the court reviews the record only for clear error. See Douglass »v. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1420 (5" Cir. 1996).

Having reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satis- fied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommendation. The court reverses the commissioner’s final ad- ministrative decision and remands the matter to the commissioner for further administrative proceedings pursuant to the fourth sen- tence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

So ordered by the court on September 10, 2021. fale BARKER United States District Judge
