CIVIL ACTION NO. 15-00572-N

ORDER
The Plaintiff brought this action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 405(g) and 1383(c)(3)
seeking judicial review of a final decision of the Defendant Commissioner of Social
Security (“the Commissioner”) denying her applications for benefits. On August 10,
2016, the Court entered an order remanding the Plaintiff’s case under sentence six
of § 405(g) for consideration of new evidence. (See Doc. 19). When such a remand is
ordered, “the Commissioner of Social Security shall, after the case is remanded, and
after hearing such additional evidence if so ordered, modify or affirm the
Commissioner’s findings of fact or the Commissioner’s decision, or both, and shall
file with the court any such additional and modified findings of fact and decision,
and, in any case in which the Commissioner has not made a decision fully favorable
to the individual, a transcript of the additional record and testimony upon which
the Commissioner's action in modifying or affirming was based.” 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
To date, no such materials have been filed with the Court.
Upon consideration, the Commissioner is ORDERED to file, no later than
Wednesday, March 1, 2017, a report informing the Court of the status of the

Plaintiff’s case on remand, unless on or before that date the Commissioner files the
materials required by sentence six of § 405(g).
DONE and ORDERED this the 14th day of February 2017.
