Background
Paullie B. asked the court to remand the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision. The Commissioner asked the court to affirm that decision. The opinion does not describe the underlying issues in the Social Security decision or the reasons supporting the requested remand.
Report and Recommendation
United States Magistrate Judge David T. Schultz issued a Report and Recommendation dated August 12, 2026. No objections were filed within the permitted time. When there are no objections, the court reviews the recommendation for clear error rather than conducting the de novo review that applies to specifically objected-to portions. The court reviewed the recommendation and the record and found no error, clear or otherwise.
Ruling
The court accepted the Report and Recommendation. It granted Paullie B.’s request to remand the Commissioner’s decision, denied the Commissioner’s request to affirm the decision, and remanded the case to the Commissioner for further administrative proceedings under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), consistent with the recommendation. Judgment was ordered to be entered.
