EDUARDO CHAVEZ-FUENTES, Plaintiff, v. ANDREW SAUL, Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Defendant.


ORDER ON CROSS MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the August 27, 2020 Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Becerra (DE 29). The R&R recommends that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 14) be denied and Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 13) be granted in part and denied in part. No objections to the R&R have been filed, and the time to do so has passed.

The Court has reviewed the entire file and record. After careful consideration, the Court finds that Magistrate Judge Becerra's well-reasoned R&R accurately states the law of the case.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that:

1. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Becerra's August 27, 2020 Report and Recommendation (DE 29) be, and the same is, hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as an Order of this Court;

2. Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 14) is hereby DENIED;

3. Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 13) is hereby GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART;

4. The above-styled action is hereby REMANDED to the Social Security Commissioner for further proceedings consistent with this opinion; and

5. The Clerk of Court shall CLOSE this case.

DONE and ORDERED in Chambers at the James Lawrence King Federal Justice Building and United States Courthouse, Miami, Florida, this 22nd day of September, 2020.
