Case No. 3:24-cv-00085-TES-AGH

ORDER
Pursuant to the power of this Court to enter a judgment affirming, modifying, or reversing
the Commissioner’s decision with remand in Social Security actions under sentence four of section
205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and in light of the government’s request to
remand, and Plaintiff’s consent, this case is hereby remanded.
Remand is appropriate in this case for further administrative action. Upon remand, the
Commissioner will offer Plaintiff an opportunity for a hearing; take any further action needed to
complete the administrative record; and issue a new decision.
Therefore, this Court hereby reverses the Commissioner’s decision under sentence four of
42 U.S.C. §405(g) with a remand of the cause to the Commissioner for further proceedings. See
Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993); Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89 (1991). The clerk
of the court will enter a separate judgment pursuant to Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of March, 2025.
