Bradley v. Social Security Doc. 22 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION LENISE BRADLEY, Plaintiff, v. No. 18-11924 Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. ________________________________________/ OPINION AND ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S JUNE 19, 2019 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [21] Currently before the Court is the magistrate judge’s June 19, 2019 report and recommendation (Dkt. 21.). The magistrate judge recommends granting Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, denying Defendant’s motion for summary judgment, and remanding the case to the administrative law judge for further proceedings. The Court is fully advised in the premises and has reviewed the record and the pleadings. Neither party has filed objections. “[T]he failure to object to the magistrate judge’s report[] releases the Court from its duty to independently review the matter.” Hall v. Rawal, No. 09-10933, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 120541, at *2 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 24, 2012) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985)). The Court nevertheless agrees with the magistrate judge’s recommendation. The Court therefore ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation (Dkt. 21). It is further ordered that Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 16) is GRANTED; Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 20) is DENIED; the Dockets.Justia.com decision of the Commissioner is REVERSED; and this matter is REMANDED to the administrative law judge pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further proceedings consistent with the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. SO ORDERED. s/Nancy G. Edmunds Nancy G. Edmunds United States District Judge Dated: July 10, 2019 I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon counsel of record on July 10, 2019, by electronic and/or ordinary mail. s/Lisa Bartlett Case Manager
