The Commissioner's decision is REVERSED and this matter is REMANDED pursuant 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (sentence four) to the Commissioner for the administrative law judge to conduct further proceedings as outlined in the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. If benefits are awarded on remand, the plaintiff may apply for an award of attorney's fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) within thirty days of a determination of the plaintiff's benefits. The Clerk is directed to terminate any pending motion and close the case.
