DONALD G. WILKERSON, Magistrate Judge.
Before the Court is the parties' Agreed Motion to Remand to the Commissioner.
The parties ask that this case be remanded 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 Corporation Comprehensive Disability Protection Plan, 195 F.3d 975, 978 (7th Cir. 1999). Upon a sentence four remand, judgment should be entered in favor of plaintiff. Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 302-303 (1993).
The parties agree that, upon remand, "the ALJ will reweigh the opinions of record, offer the claimant a new hearing, and take further action to complete the administrative record resolving these matters, issuing a new decision."
Plaintiff applied for disability benefits in August 2014. (Tr. 191). While recognizing that the agency has a full docket, the Court urges the Commissioner to expedite this case on remand.
