ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION
District Judge Clark Waddoups
Magistrate Judge Paul M. Warner
This case was assigned to United States District Court Judge Clark Waddoups, who then referred it to United States Magistrate Paul M. Warner under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). Plaintiff Martha A. Rodriguez appeals the Commissioner's final decision denying Ms. Rodriguez's claim for Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"). On October 11, 2013, Judge Warner issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the Commissioner's decision be reversed and remanded due to an error in the determination.
The Commissioner was granted until October 25, 2013 to file an objection to the report. That deadline was stayed until Congress restored the lapse in appropriations for the Department of Justice and the Social Security Administration. Order, 1 (Dkt. No. 23). It was further ordered that all deadlines were "extended commensurate with the duration of the lapse of appropriations." Id. On November 5, 2013, the court lifted the stay. Consequently, the Commissioner had until November 15, 2013 to file an objection. As of this date, no objection has been filed.
Having reviewed the record, the court hereby APPROVES and ADOPTS Judge Warner's Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Accordingly, the Commissioner's decision in this case is REVERSED and REMANDED for additional proceedings in accordance with Judge Warner's report.
Dkt. No. 21.
