JOSEPH F. ANDERSON, Jr., District Judge.
This is an action brought by the plaintiff, Sandy Cook, pursuant to sections 405(g) and 1383(c)(3) of the Social Security Act, as amended, to obtain judicial review of the final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ("Commissioner") denying her claims for Disability Insurance Benefits.
The Magistrate Judge assigned to this action
Specifically, the Magistrate Judge recommends that the ALJ be directed to further consider all the evidence as to the totality of the circumstances of plaintiff's claim, including the evidence addressed in her motion to admit new evidence and the evidence related to the period in which she was receiving unemployment benefits.
The parties were advised of their right to file objections to the Report and Recommendation. The plaintiff did not file objections. The Commissioner, however, filed a notice stating that he would not file objections to the Report. The Commissioner also notes that its response should not be construed as a concession by the Commissioner that his administrative decision denying benefits was not substantially justified.
After a careful review of the record, including the findings of the ALJ, the briefs from the plaintiff and the Commissioner, and the Magistrate Judge's Report, the court finds the Report provides an accurate summary of the facts in the instant case and that the conclusions are proper. The Magistrate Judge's findings are hereby specifically incorporated herein by reference.
Accordingly, this action is reversed pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) and is remanded to the Commissioner for further proceedings as stated herein and in the Magistrate Judge's Report.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
