GLENN T. SUDDABY, Chief District Judge.
Currently before the Court, in this Social Security action filed by Ronald Blinkovitch ("Plaintiff") against the Commissioner of Social Security ("Defendant" or "the Commissioner"), is the Report-Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge William B.

After carefully reviewing all of the papers in this action, including Magistrate Judge Carter's thorough Report-Recommendation, the Court can find no clear error in the Report-Recommendation.1 Magistrate Judge Carter employed the proper legal standards, accurately recited the facts, and correctly applied the law to those facts. (Dkt. No. 16.) As a result, the Report-Recommendation is accepted and adopted in its entirety; Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings is granted; Defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings is denied; the Commissioner's decision denying disability insurance benefits is reversed; and this matter is remanded to the Commissioner of Social Security for further proceedings under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
ACCORDINGLY, it is
ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Carter's Report-Recommendation (Dkt. No. 16) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings (Dkt. No. 11) is GRANTED, Defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings (Dkt. No. 14) is DENIED, the Commissioner's decision denying Plaintiff Social Security benefits is REVERSED, and this matter is REMANDED to the Commissioner of Social Security for further proceedings under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
