FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
No. CV-08-595-PHX-DGC

Defendant.
In a memorandum decision dated May 12, 2011, the Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit reversed the judgment affirming Defendant’s denial of social security
benefits to Plaintiff. Doc. 31-1. The Court of Appeals held that the ALJ improperly
discredited Plaintiff’s pain and symptom testimony and erred in determining his RFC, in
part by erroneously rejecting the opinions of treating physicians in favor of a non-treating
source. Id. at 2-9. The case has been remanded for further proceedings. Id. at 2, 5. The
mandate issued July 5, 2011. Doc. 31.
IT IS ORDERED that each party, by July 22, 2011, shall file a memorandum
addressing how the case should proceed on remand. The memoranda shall not exceed
five pages in length.
Dated this 14th day of July, 2011.
