BRADLEY THOMAS BOONE, Plaintiff. v. ANDREW SAUL, COMMISSIONER OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
On August 30, 2019, this case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Andrew M. Edison pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). Dkt. 10. On April 17, 2020, Judge Edison filed a Memorandum and Recommendation (Dkt. 19), recommending that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 16) be GRANTED, the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 17) be DENIED, the decision of the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") be REVERSED, and the case be REMANDED to the Commissioner for reconsideration.

Based on the pleadings, the record, and the applicable law, the Court finds that there is no plain error apparent from the face of the record. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED that:

(2) Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 16) is GRANTED;
