CIVIL ACTION
NO. 10-6756

ORDER
AND NOW, this 23 day of March, 2012, upon consideration of the brief in
support of request for review filed by plaintiff (Doc. No. 11) and defendant’s response and
plaintiff’s reply thereto (Doc. Nos. 14 & 15), and having found after careful and independent
consideration of the record that the ALJ committed legal error, I conclude that the action must be
remanded to the Commissioner under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Therefore, for the
reasons set forth in the memorandum above, I hereby ORDER that:

1.

JUDGMENT IS ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE PLAINTIFF,
REVERSING THE DECISION OF THE COMMISSIONER OF
SOCIAL SECURITY for the purposes of this remand only and the relief
sought by Plaintiff is GRANTED to the extent that the matter is
REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this adjudication;
and

2.

The Clerk of Court is hereby directed to mark this case closed.
