Opinion
Civil Action No. 11-CV-10476
02-22-2012
DENNIS VINCENT, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
HON. BERNARD A. FRIEDMAN
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE RANDON'S
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND REMANDING CASE FOR FURTHER
PROCEEDINGS
This matter is presently before the court on cross motions for summary judgment. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon has submitted a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") in which he recommends that the court grant plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, deny defendant's motion for summary judgment, and remand the case for further proceedings. Neither party has objected to the R&R and the time for doing so has expired. The court has reviewed the motion papers and the R&R and finds the magistrate judge's analysis to be correct and his recommendation to be sound. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Randon's R&R is hereby accepted and adopted as the findings and conclusions of the court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is granted, defendant's motion for summary judgment is denied, and the case is remanded for further proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), so that defendant may correct the error (improper hypothetical question to the vocational expert) identified in the R&R.
