Discussion
Plaintiff Crystal Phillips initiated this action on August 11, 2016. (Doc. # 1). Prior to the completion of briefing on the substantive issues, the Commissioner filed the present Motion, explaining that further administrative proceedings are needed. In the Motion, the Commissioner requests an order reversing and remanding this action under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The Commissioner specifies that:
The Commissioner believes that remand would be appropriate for the ALJ to further assess Plaintiff's ability to perform her past relevant work and other work in the national economy and, if necessary, obtain supplemental evidence from a vocational expert to assist in this determination.
(Doc. # 17 at 1).
Upon due consideration, the Court grants the Motion, which is unopposed. This case is remanded for further administrative proceedings consistent with the foregoing.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:
(1) The Commissioner's Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Doc. # 17) is GRANTED.
(2) The Clerk is directed to enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff reflecting that this case is REVERSED and REMANDED pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further administrative proceedings.
(3) Once judgment is entered, the Clerk is directed to CLOSE this case.
DONE and ORDERED.
