Opinion
Case No. 12-11433
07-10-2013
SALENA GLENN, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
Honorable Thomas L. Ludington
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION, GRANTING
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, AND DENYING
DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Salena Glenn filed a complaint challenging the Commissioner of Social Security's final denial of her application for Social Security Disability benefits. On August 13, 2012, Glenn filed a motion for summary judgment. The Commissioner filed a cross motion on November 28, 2012.
On June 19, 2013, United States Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon issued a report recommending Glenn's motion be granted and the Commissioner's motion be denied. He also recommended that the case be remanded to the Commissioner for further proceedings. As of today's date, no party has filed any objections to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. The election to not file objections to the Judge Randon's report releases the Court from its duty to independently review the record. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Judge Randon's report and recommendation, ECF No. 22, is ADOPTED.
It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 14, is GRANTED.
It is further ORDERED that the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 18, is DENIED.
It is further ORDERED that the case is REMANDED to the Commissioner for further proceedings consistent with Judge Randon's report.
