By order of the court, this case is remanded to the Appeals Council. The Appeals

from a vocational expert. Based on the updated record, the ALJ will be further instructed
to issue a new decision, which conclusively determines at step four whether Plaintiff is
capable of engaging in her past relevant work.
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 four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and in light of the Commissioner’s request for
remand of this action for further proceedings, this court hereby reverses the
Commissioner’s decision under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) with a remand of the
cause to the Commissioner for further administrative proceedings as set out above. See
Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993). The Clerk of Court is directed to enter a
separate judgment pursuant to the Fed. R. Civ. P. 58.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
