MARY MARTHA WITHINGTON, ESQ., LEGAL AID SOCIETY OF NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK, Attorney for Plaintiff, Saratoga Springs, New York.
WILLIAM H. PEASE, AUSA, OFFICE of the U.S. ATTORNEY, Attorney for Defendant, Syracuse, NY.
Order
Plaintiff Jo Ferris brings this action pursuant to the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 405(g), 1383(c)(3), seeking review of a final decision of the defendant Commissioner of Social Security ("the Commissioner"), denying her application for disability insurance benefits ("DIB") and supplemental security income ("SSI"). By Report-Recommendation dated September 1, 2009, the Honorable Victor E. Bianchini, United States Magistrate Judge, finds that the Commissioner's decision contains legal error and is not supported by substantial evidence, and therefore recommends that the Commissioner's decision denying DIB and SSI be remanded for further proceedings in accordance with his recommendation and pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Neither party having objected thereto, and this court having carefully reviewed same for clear error, this court adopts the Report-Recommendation in its entirety. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Accordingly, for the reasons set forth above, the recommended ruling (Doc. No. 18) is hereby APPROVED and ADOPTED. This case is REMANDED to the Commissioner, as set forth in the recommended ruling, for further proceedings consistent with the recommended ruling of the magistrate judge.
SO ORDERED.
