MEMORANDUM and ORDER

J. PHIL GILBERT, District Judge.

This matter is now before the Court on the parties' Agreed Motion to Remand to the Commissioner (Doc. 30). The parties agree that this case should be remanded to the agency for further proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). A sentence four remand (as opposed to a sentence six remand) depends upon a finding of error and is itself a final, appealable order. See Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89 (1991); Perlman v. Swiss Bank Corp. Comprehensive Disability Prot. Plan, 195 F.3d 975, 978 (7th Cir. 1999). Upon a sentence four remand, judgment should be entered in favor of plaintiff. Schaefer v. Shalala, 509 U.S. 292, 302-03 (1993).

The parties stipulate that, on remand, the ALJ will consider all pertinent issues de novo and offer plaintiff the opportunity to offer argument. The ALJ will proceed through the sequential disability evaluation process as appropriate. If necessary, the ALJ will obtain further vocational expert testimony. The ALJ will then issue a new decision in this case.

For good cause shown, the parties' Agreed Motion to Remand (Doc. 30) is GRANTED. The final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying Beau Robert Bernard Schuette's application for social security benefits is REVERSED and REMANDED to the Commissioner for rehearing and reconsideration of the evidence, pursuant to four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment in favor of plaintiff.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
