1Opinion of the Court

ERVIN, Circuit Judge:

Elizabeth S. DeLoatche was denied disability benefits by the Secretary after a hearing by an administrative law judge (ALJ). She then filed the present action, and subsequently both parties moved for judgment on the pleadings. A United States magistrate found significant faults in the Secretary’s decision and recommended a remand, but the district court sustained the Secretary’s objections to the magistrate’s report and dismissed the complaint. DeLoatche appeals, and we now reverse and remand for further consideration.
