FREDERICK SCULLIN JR., Chief Judge
On October 16, 2008, Plaintiff commenced this action seeking judicial review of Defendant's final decision denying Plaintiff's application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income benefits for the period from April 2005 until October 2007. See Dkt. No. 1. Both parties filed briefs in support of their motions for judgment on the pleadings. See Dkt. Nos. 7-8. On May 23, 2011, Magistrate Judge Bianchini issued a Report and Recommendation in which he recommended that the Court reverse Defendant's decision and remand this case to Defendant, pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), for further administrative proceedings consistent with his Report and Recommendation. See Dkt. No. 12 at 21.
Currently before the Court for its review is Magistrate Judge Bianchini's Report and Recommendation to which neither party has filed any objections.
When a party does not object to a magistrate judge's report and recommendation, the court reviews that report and recommendation for clear error or manifest injustice. See Linares v. Mahunik, No. 9:05-CV-625, 2009 WL 3165660, *10 (N.D.N.Y. July 16, 2009) (citation and footnote omitted). After conducting this review, "the Court may `accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the . . . recommendations made by the magistrate judge.'" Id. (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C)).
The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Bianchini's May 23, 2011 Report and Recommendation for clear error and manifest injustice; and, finding none, the Court hereby
ORDERS that Magistrate Judge Bianchini's May 23, 2011 Report and Recommendation is ACCEPTED in its entirety for the reasons stated therein; and the Court further
ORDERS that Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings is GRANTED; and the Court further
ORDERS that Defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings is DENIED; and the Court further
ORDERS that Defendant's decision is REVERSED and this case is REMANDED to the Commissioner of Social Security pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further administrative proceedings consistent with Magistrate Judge Bianchini's May 23, 2011 Report and Recommendation; and the Court further
ORDERS that the Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff and close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
