Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Rateau's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 22) is hereby ACCEPTED and ADOPTED as the findings of fact and conclusions of law by this Court;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's claim for benefits is REMANDED to the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration for further proceedings in accordance with the Report and Recommendation;
