WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Marvin A. Saunders, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social 

Security, 

Defendant.

No. CV-08-595-PHX-DGC

ORDER 

 In a memorandum decision dated May 12, 2011, the Court of Appeals for the 

Ninth Circuit reversed the judgment affirming Defendant’s denial of social security 

benefits to Plaintiff. Doc. 31-1. The Court of Appeals held that the ALJ improperly 

discredited Plaintiff’s pain and symptom testimony and erred in determining his RFC, in 

part by erroneously rejecting the opinions of treating physicians in favor of a non-treating 

source. Id. at 2-9. The case has been remanded for further proceedings. Id. at 2, 5. The 

mandate issued July 5, 2011. Doc. 31. 

IT IS ORDERED that each party, by July 22, 2011, shall file a memorandum 

addressing how the case should proceed on remand. The memoranda shall not exceed 

five pages in length. 

 Dated this 14th day of July, 2011.
