This social security case is presently before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion
to Remand. (Doc. #10). The parties agree that this case should be remanded to the
Commissioner of Social Security for further proceedings, pursuant to sentence four of
Section 205 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and respectfully request this
Honorable Court enter an appropriate order with judgment.
Upon remand, the Appeals Council will vacate all findings in the Administrative
Law Judge’s (ALJ’s) decision, and the Commissioner will conduct further proceedings
and develop the administrative record as necessary to determine whether Plaintiff is
under a disability as defined by the Social Security Act. In so doing, the ALJ will (1)
offer Plaintiff a supplemental hearing; (2) reevaluate the medical opinions and explain
the reasons for the weight assigned pursuant to the regulations; (3) reassess Plaintiff’s
residual functional capacity; and (4) if necessary, obtain supplemental testimony from a

vocational expert to clarify the effect of the reassessed limitations on Plaintiff’s past
relevant work and occupational base.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1. The parties’ Joint Stipulation to Remand to the Commissioner (Doc. #10) is
ACCEPTED;
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter Judgment in Plaintiff’s favor under Fed.
R. Civ. P. 58;
