Plaintiff,

v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:20-cv-00158

ANDREW SAUL, Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

ORDER

This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Cheryl A. Eifert for submission of proposed findings of fact and recommendations for disposition pursuant to

(b)(1)(B). On September 4, 2020, Magistrate Judge Eifert submitted her Proposed Findings & Recommendations [ECF No. 17] (“PF&R”) and recommended that the court GRANT Plaintiff’s request for judgment on the pleadings, [ECF No. 11], to the extent that it requests remand of the Commissioner’s decision; DENY Defendant’s request to affirm the decision of the Commissioner, [ECF No. 14]; REVERSE the final decision of the Commissioner; REMAND this matter pursuant to sentence four of

(g) for further administrative proceedings consistent with the PF&R; and DISMISS this action from the docket of the Court. Because the PF&R was served electronically on all parties, objections to the PF&R were due by September 18, 2020. Neither party timely filed objections to the PF&R nor sought an extension of time. A district court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the

(b)(1)(C). This court is not, however, required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Because the parties have not filed objections in this case, the court adopts and incorporates herein the PF&R and orders judgment consistent therewith. The court GRANTS Plaintiff's request for judgment on the pleadings, [ECF No. 11], to the extent that it requests remand of the Commissioner’s decision; DENIES Defendant’s request to affirm the decision of the Commissioner, [ECF No. 14]; REVERSES the final decision of the Commissioner; REMANDS this matter pursuant to sentence four of

(g) for further administrative proceedings consistent with the PF&R; and DISMISSES this action from the docket of the Court. The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party. ENTER: September 22, 2020 G ow STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
