MARK E. FORD, Magistrate Judge.
Steve Gessner ("Plaintiff") brings this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) seeking judicial review of a decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (Commissioner) denying his application for disability insurance benefits ("DIB") and supplemental security income ("SSI"). ECF No. 1. This matter is presently before the undersigned by consent of the parties.
The Commissioner filed an answer to Plaintiff's action on March 9, 2015, asserting that the findings of the Commissioner were supported by substantial evidence and were conclusive. ECF No. 8. On May 1, 2015, having changed positions, the Commissioner filed a motion requesting that Plaintiff's case be remanded pursuant to "sentence four" of section 405(g) in order to conduct further administrative proceedings. ECF Nos. 10. Specifically, the Commissioner requests that remand be granted to allow the ALJ to reassess the severity of the Plaintiff's mental impairments, further evaluate the nature and severity of the Plaintiff's alleged physical impairments, give further consideration to the Plaintiff's maximum residual functional capacity, provide rationale with specific references to evidence of record to support the assessed limitations, reevaluate the treating and non-treating source opinions and explain the weight given to each, evaluate non-examining source statements and explain the weight given to this evidence, further evaluate the Plaintiff's subjective complaints, and, if warranted, obtain additional evidence from a vocational expert.
The exclusive methods by which a district court may remand a social security case to the Commissioner are set forth in "sentence four" and "sentence six" of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). A remand pursuant to "sentence six" is limited to two situations: where the Commissioner requests a remand before answering the complaint, or where the court orders the Commissioner to consider new, material evidence that was for good cause not presented before the agency. The Fourth sentence of the statute provides that "[t]he court shall have power to enter, upon the pleadings and transcript of the record, a judgment affirming, modifying, or reversing the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, with or without remanding the cause for a rehearing." 42 U.S.C. § 405(g); Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 296, 113 S.Ct. 2625 (1993).
Here, we find remand is appropriate to allow the ALJ to further evaluate the evidence as addressed above. Therefore, the Commissioner's motion to remand is hereby
