On July 21, 2014, the court affirmed the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial

16

of Plaintiff Michael W. Hall’s application for Social Security disability insurance benefits

17

and supplemental security income. (7/21/14 Order (Dkt. # 20); Judgment (Dkt. # 21).)

18

Mr. Hall appealed that ruling to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (See Not. of Appeal

19

(Dkt. # 22).) On December 15, 2017, the Ninth Circuit reversed and remanded

20

“[b]ecause the functional limitations identified by the [administrative law judge (“ALJ”)]

21

in the [residual functional capacity] for medium work were not supported by medical

22

evidence in the record,” requiring reevaluation of the “sequential evaluation process.”
