MARIA LEE, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
BRUCE E. REINHART, MAGISTRATE JUDGE
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
DONALD M. MIDDLEBROOKS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on a Report and Recommendation issued by Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart (the “Report”) on June 28, 2022. (DE 24). The Report recommends granting Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 19), denying Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 20), and reversing the decision of the Commissioner. Id. On July 8, 2022, the Commissioner filed objections to the Report (DE 25), to which Plaintiff responded on July 14, 2022 (DE 26).
I have conducted an independent de novo review of the record in this case. I have carefully and fully considered the Report, all applicable law, and the written submissions of the Parties, including the Commissioner's objections. I agree with Judge Reinhart's analysis and conclusions, and therefore his Report is adopted in full.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
(1) The Report (DE 24) is ADOPTED.
(2) The Commissioner's objections (DE 25) are OVERRULED.
(3) Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 19) is GRANTED.
(4) Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 20) is DENIED.
(5) The decision of the Commissioner is REVERSED AND REMANDED.
(6) Final judgment will be entered by separate Order.
