WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Walter Dragoo,

Plaintiff,

v. 

Commissioner of Social Security 

Administration,

Defendant.

No. CV-19-01988-PHX-SPL

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S 

MOTION TO ALTER OR AMEND 

JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO

FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL

PROCEDURE 59(e)

At issue is Defendant’s Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment Pursuant to Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 59(e). (Doc. 19, “Motion.”) Defendant moves for alteration or amendment of this 

Court’s Order (Doc. 17) reversing his decision to deny Plaintiff’s application for benefits 

under the Social Security Act and remanding the matter for further administrative 

proceedings. The Court has considered the Motion, Plaintiff’s Response (Doc. 20), and 

Defendant’s Reply (Doc. 22). Because the Court finds it necessary to correct manifest 

errors of law or fact upon which the judgment rests, see Allstate Ins. Co. v. Herron, 634 

F.3d 1101, 1111 (9th Cir. 2011), Defendant’s Motion is granted.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion (Doc. 19) is granted.
