REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

BRIAN A. TSUCHIDA, Magistrate Judge.

Jack K. Sidwell filed a complaint appealing the denial of his benefits application. Dkt. 3. On October 4, 2014, the parties filed a stipulated motion, Dkt. 24, in which they agree:

(1) The Court should reverse and remand the case for further administrative proceedings under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

(2) On remand, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will give Plaintiff an opportunity for a hearing and obtain additional evidence. The ALJ will further evaluate the medical evidence in the record and re-assess the medically determinable impairments. In so doing, the ALJ will consider the provisions of Social Security Ruling 13-2p. The ALJ will further evaluate the treating and non-treating source opinions, and re-assess Plaintiff's residual functional capacity. If warranted, the ALJ will obtain evidence from a medical expert to clarify the nature and severity of Plaintiff's impairments.

(3) Plaintiff is entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2412, upon proper request to this Court.

Having reviewed the motion and record the Court recommends the stipulated motion to reverse and remand be granted immediately.
