MARGARET N. RICHISON, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Commissioner of The Social Security Administration, Defendant.
ORDER REMANDING CASE FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS
HONORABLE RONALD A. WHITE, DISTRICT JUDGE
On February 22, 2023, the United States Magistrate Judge entered a Report and Recommendation recommending that the above-styled case be reversed and remanded for further proceedings [Docket No. 23]. The Defendant did not file an objection to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. The Magistrate Judge found that correct legal standards were not applied by the Administrative Law Judge through his failure to properly assess all medical opinions and provide explanations for his choices to ignore portions of evidence which supported Dr. Farrow's opinion. The Magistrate Judge found that the decision was therefore not supported by substantial evidence and recommends further analysis upon remand of the case.
Upon full consideration of the record and the issues herein, this court finds that the Magistrate Judge's recommendation to reverse and remand for further proceedings is well supported. Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is hereby affirmed and adopted as this court's Findings and Order.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the decision of the Administrative Law Judge is hereby REVERSED and this case is hereby REMANDED pursuant to the fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. §405(g) for further administrative proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED
