ORDER DIRECTING ENTRY OF JUDGMENT IN
FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF PAMELA SUGDEN AND
AGAINST DEFENDANT, CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
ACTING COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY

Pamela Sugden initiated this action seeking judicial review of the administrative decision

18

denying her application for Social Security benefits. On October 6, 2016, Plaintiff and Defendant

19

Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner Social Security, stipulated to a voluntary remand of

20

Plaintiff’s Social Security appeal for further administrative proceedings. (Doc. 15)

21

The parties seek remand to have an administrative law judge to hold a new hearing and issue a

22

decision. (Doc. 15 at 1) Specifically, the parties want “the ALJ to obtain vocational expert testimony

23

that considers the claimant’s RFC and other vocational factors and take any necessary further action to

24

complete the administrative record.” (Id.) Further, the parties noted the matter was to be remanded

25

under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and request final judgment be entered in favor of the

26

plaintiff. (Id. at 1-2)
