DONALD R. HALL,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 12-3506-CV-MDH

v.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant’s Report to the Court and Motion to Affirm and For Entry
of Judgment. (Doc. No. 7). On April 10, 2013, the Court issued an order pursuant to sentence
six of section 405(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), remanding the matter to the
Commissioner due to a procedural defect. (Doc. No. 6). Upon remand, the ALJ’s unfavorable
decision was vacated and the case was remanded to the ALJ for a new decision. The ALJ
entered a decision on December 11, 2013 in favor of Plaintiff, finding Plaintiff was disabled
since January 4, 2012.
Defendant now moves the Court for final judgment affirming the decision of the
Commissioner as there are no unresolved issues for the Court’s consideration. Plaintiff has filed
no objection to Defendant’s Motion and the time to do so has expired. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the final decision of the Commission is affirmed. The Clerk of the Court shall
enter final judgment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: August 26, 2015
