Where no objection is made to a report and recommendation, this Court will review the recommendation only for clear error. Regardless of whether timely objections are made, district courts may accept, reject, or modify-in whole or in part-the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge. Upon review of the record, the Court finds no clear error in Chief Magistrate Judge Mehalchick's conclusion that the Commissioner's decision is not supported by substantial evidence. Consequently, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Local Rule 72.31.
1. Chief Magistrate Judge Karoline Mehalchick's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 18) is ADOPTED;
2. The Commissioner's decision is VACATED, and this matter is REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this Order and Chief Magistrate Judge Mehalchick's Report and Recommendation;
3. Final Judgment is entered in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 58 and sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g);
4. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case.
