(“Commissioner”), has moved the court pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), to enter a judgment with

On order of the court, the agency’s Appeals Council will remand the case to an
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), who will give Plaintiff the opportunity to submit new evidence
and the opportunity for a new hearing. The ALJ will obtain testimony from a vocational expert,
reassess the opinions expressed by treating physician Dr. Lambert and explain what weight is
afforded to these opinions. Further, the ALJ will consider Plaintiff’s residual functional capacity,
