Hayward v. Colvin Doc. 19 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Alexandria Division JOSEPH HAYWARD, Plaintiff, I:13cv597 (LMB/TRJ) V. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner, Social Security Administration, Defendant. MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff Joseph Hayward ("plaintiff or "Hayward") has brought this civil action against defendant Carolyn W. Colvin ("defendant" or "Commissioner"), the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ("SSA"), seeking review of the Commissioner's decision denying plaintiff disabilitybenefits. Before the Court are the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment, as well as plaintiffs objections to the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation ("Report"), which recommended that summary judgment be granted in favor of defendant. For the reasons that follow, the Court declines to adopt the Report's recommendation. Accordingly, plaintiffs motion will be granted, defendant's motion will be denied, the Commissioner's denial of benefits will be vacated, and the matter will be remanded to the SSA for further fact-finding.
