Williams v. Commissioner of Social Security ( 2023 )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION STEVEN LAYNE WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 6:23-cv-419-RBD-LLL COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant. ____________________________________ ORDER On referral in this Social Security case, U.S. Magistrate Judge Laura Lothman Lambert entered a report recommending that the Court grant the Commissioner’s unopposed motion for judgment under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). (Doc. 26 (“Motion”); Doc. 27 (“R&R”).) The parties did not object and the time has passed, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. The R&R (Doc. 27) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order in its entirety. 2. The Motion (Doc. 26) is GRANTED. 3. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment reversing and remanding the case pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) with the following instructions: On remand, the case will be remanded to an administrative law judge who will offer Plaintiff the opportunity for a new hearing, take any further action needed to complete the administrative record, and issue a new decision. 4, The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on September 18, 2023. ROY B. DALTON, JR. United States District Judge
