ORDER

Defendant
This matter is before the Court on defendant’s Motion for
Remand to the Commissioner.

Plaintiff’s counsel has indicated

Accordingly, for good cause shown, the Court hereby reverses
the Commissioner’s decision and remands, under sentence six of 42
U.S.C. § 405(g), the case to the Commissioner for further
proceedings to allow the defendant to further evaluate the
plaintiff’s residual functional capacity and mental impairment.
See Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993); Melkonyan v.
Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89 (1991).
The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter a separate
judgement pursuant to Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure.
