Judge Baker recommended that the Commissioner's decision to deny benefits should be reversed and that this case should be remanded for further proceedings. Judge Baker recommends that the Administrative Law Judge should re-evaluate the opinion of Plaintiff's treating psychologist, Dr. Kosuri, in a manner consistent with Judge Baker's Report and Recommendation. In addition, Judge Baker recommends that the ALJ re-assess Plaintiff's residual functional capacity in a manner consistent with Judge Baker's Report and Recommendation.
