ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO REMAND

THIS MATTER comes upon the Court on Defendant's Unopposed Motion to Remand. The Court finds that remand for further administrative proceedings is appropriate.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Remand be GRANTED. This case is remanded pursuant to the fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 205(g). Upon remand, the Appeals Council will direct the administrative law judge (ALJ) to provide Plaintiff with the opportunity to submit additional evidence and attend a supplemental hearing. The ALJ will evaluate the medical source opinion from Joan Scott, Ph.D., and Dr. Scott's treatment notes. The ALJ will also re-evaluate Plaintiff's residual functional capacity and, if necessary, obtain supplemental vocational expert evidence as necessary to determine whether Plaintiff can perform past relevant work or other work existing in significant numbers in the national economy. The ALJ will consider the entire record and proceed through the sequential evaluation process as necessary to issue a de novo decision.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that judgment in favor of Plaintiff shall issue.
