No. 3:22cv00101-JJV
ORDER AND JUDGMENT
Defendant filed an unopposed Motion to Remand this case (Doc. No. 17) pursuant to
sentence four of 42 U.S.C. ' 405(g) (1995):
The court shall have the power to enter, upon the pleadings and transcript of the
record, a judgment affirming, modifying, or reversing the decision of the
Commissioner of Social Security, with or without remanding the cause for a
rehearing.
The Commissioner seeks remand to conduct further proceedings and states opposing
counsel has no objection to the requested remand.

Accordingly, the Commissioner’s decision is reversed and remanded for action consistent

and Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89 (1991).
SO ORDERED this 21st day of November 2022.
