Background

The court considered a report and recommendation issued by United States Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko on December 4, 2023. No objections were filed within the permitted period. The opinion does not explain the underlying dispute or the specific reasons for the recommended result.

Court’s review

Because no objections were filed, the district court reviewed the report and recommendation for clear error. After reviewing the report and the record, the court found no error and adopted the report and recommendation in full.

Ruling

The court granted Kevin M.’s motion for summary judgment, denied the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment, and remanded the matter to the Commissioner under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further administrative proceedings consistent with the report and recommendation. The court ordered judgment to be entered accordingly.
