ENTRY AND ORDER OVERRULING OBJECTIONS (DOC. 15) TO THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (DOC. 13); ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS (DOC. 13) IN THEIR ENTIRETY; VACATING THE COMMISSIONER'S NON-DISABILITY FINDING; REMANDING THE APPLICATION FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION UNDER 42 U.S.C. § 405(g); AND TERMINATING THIS CASE

THOMAS M. ROSE, District Judge.

This is an action under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for review of the decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ("Commissioner") denying Plaintiff Michael Slaton's application for Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental Security Income. On February 5, 2016, Chief Magistrate Judge Sharon L. Ovington entered a Report and Recommendations (Doc. 13), which recommended that the Court vacate the Commissioner's non-disability finding and remand the matter to the Social Security Administration for further proceedings. On March 1, 2016, the Commissioner filed Objections (Doc. 15) to the Report and Recommendations. On March 15, 2016, Plaintiff filed a Response (Doc. 16) to the Objections. This matter is therefore ripe for the Court's review.

As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the Court has made a de novo review of the record in this case. Upon said review, the Court finds that the Commissioner's Objections (Doc. 15) to the Report and Recommendations (Doc. 13) are not well taken and they are hereby OVERRULED. The Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendations (Doc. 13) in their entirety. The Commissioner's non-disability determination is therefore VACATED. No finding is made as to whether Plaintiff was under a disability within the meaning of the Social Security Act. This matter is REMANDED to the Social Security Administration under Sentence Four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further consideration consistent with the Report and Recommendations (Doc. 13), and the Clerk is ORDERED to terminate this case on the Court's docket.

DONE and ORDERED.
