ORDER
Pending before the Court is Defendant Commissioner of Social Security’s Motion for
Entry of Judgment Under Sentence Four, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), with Remand to Defendant
(“Motion”) (Doc. No. 15), filed along with a Memorandum in Support (Doc. No. 16). Defendant
states that remand is “appropriate in this case for the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to reevaluate the evidence of record.” (Doc. No. 16 at 1.) Specifically, the ALJ is to determine
whether the disability rating of the VA is entitled to great weight, and provide valid reasons for
the weight given if not. (Id.) Defendant indicates that Plaintiff’s counsel has been contacted and
has no objection to Defendant’s Motion. (Doc. No. 15.)
The Court hereby GRANTS Defendant’s Motion and REMANDS this case to the
Commissioner. This Order terminates this Court’s jurisdiction over the above-styled action, and
the case is DISMISSED. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to close the case.
It is so ORDERED.
Entered this the 27th day of September, 2013.
