LISA McKINNEY, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.


ORDER

The entire Court is in the process of converting from using WordPerfect to Word for drafting all orders. Apparently, this transition resulted in numerous typographical errors appearing in the Court's Memorandum and Recommendation after the document was uploaded to CM/ECF. The Court apologizes to counsel for any confusion or inconvenience this may cause them in reviewing the Court's December 11, 2012, Memorandum and Recommendation. The Court is working to ensure that this problem is corrected going forward.
