MEMORANDUM AND OPINION


This Social Security appeal is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation ("R R") filed by United States Magistrate Judge H. Bruce Guyton [Doc. 25]. There have been no timely objections to the R R [Doc. 25], and enough time has passed since the filing of the R R [Doc. 25] to treat any objections as having been waived. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).

After a careful review of this matter, the Court is in complete agreement with the magistrate judge's conclusion that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 14] be GRANTED, to the extent that the case is REMANDED to the Commissioner for further proceedings. The Court also accepts Judge Guyton's recommendation to DENY the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment [Doc. 16]. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS IN WHOLE the R R [Doc. 25] under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b).

It is ORDERED, for the reasons stated in the R R [Doc. 25], which the Court adopts and incorporates into its ruling, that the case be REMANDED to the Commissioner for further proceedings consistent with the R R [Doc. 25].
