On September 15, 2014, the United States Magistrate Judge for this District filed a Report and Recommendation in this case. No objection was filed to the Report and Recommendation. As a result, the Report and Recommendation is deemed confessed.

The Report and Recommendation suggest that the case be REVERSED AND REMANDED for further administrative proceedings.

Upon consideration of the entire record and the issues herein, this Court finds and orders that the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge be SUSTAINED and adopted by this Court as this Court's Findings and Order.
