Discussion

Howell initiated this action against the Commissioner contesting the denial of Social Security Disability benefits on June 1, 2018. (Doc. # 1). After briefing on the substantive issues regarding the Commissioner's denial of benefits, the Commissioner filed the present Motion. The Commissioner specifically moves the Court to reverse and remand under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g): "Upon remand, the Appeals Council will instruct the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to identify the weight given the medical opinions and explain the reasons for not including any limitations identified in those opinions in his residual functional capacity finding, evaluate Plaintiff's subjective symptoms in accordance with 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1529 and 416.929, issue a new decision, and take any other action deemed necessary." (Doc. # 20 at 1).

Upon due consideration, the Court grants the unopposed motion by reversing and remanding this case for further proceedings as stated in the Motion.

Accordingly, it is

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:

(1) The Commissioner's Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Doc. # 20) is GRANTED. (2) This case is REVERSED and REMANDED pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further proceedings.
