EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

JOHN W. HOBBS, III PLAINTIFF

V. NO. 4:06CV01412-JMM/BD

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner

of the Social Security Administration DEFENDANT

ORDER

The Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (“Commissioner”) has

filed the pending Motion to Remand (#7). In the motion, the Commissioner asks the

Court to reverse and remand this case for further administrative proceedings under

sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The Commissioner states that Plaintiff has no

objection to the motion.

On the basis of the foregoing, the Court finds that good cause exists for reversing

and remanding this proceeding, and the motion to remand is GRANTED. The

Commissioner’s decision is reversed and this matter is remanded to the Commissioner for

further administrative proceedings in accordance with the terms outlined in the motion. 

This is a “sentence four” remand within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) and

Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U. S. 89 (1991). The dismissal of this case is without

prejudice to Plaintiff’s subsequent filing of a motion for attorney’s fees and expenses

pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act. A separate judgment will be entered 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58.
