this Court, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 405(g), to enter a judgment with an order of reversal with

opinions of the State Agency non-examining consultants.

If warranted, the ALJ will also be

directed to obtain supplemental vocational expert evidence to identify the existence of a
significant number of jobs that the claimant can perform.

The Appeals Council will

recommend that a new decision be issued that is based on the total record.

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

with a REMAND of the cause to the Commissioner for further administrative proceedings.1
See Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993).
