DIANA MEDENDORP v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner, Social Security
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
On January 3, 2014, the United States magistrate judge issued his proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation in the above-styled and numbered cause. The magistrate judge gave all parties until January 17 to serve and file with the Court written objections to his proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation. No written objections have been received from either party. See Douglass v. United Servs. Auto. Assoc., 79 F.3d 1415, 1428-29 (5th Cir. 1996). As a result, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), de novo review is not required. Nevertheless, the Court has reviewed the magistrate judge's findings, conclusions, and recommendation for error and has found none.
Thus, after consideration of this matter, the Court concludes that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge should be and are hereby ADOPTED as the findings and conclusions of this Court. It is, therefore, ORDERED that the decision of the Commissioner is REVERSED, and this matter is REMANDED to the Commissioner for further administrative proceedings consistent with the magistrate judge's decision.
