IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

Chris Lands Plaintiff

v. 4:08CV00200 HLJ

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,

Commissioner, Social 

Security Administration, Defendant

ORDER

Defendant has filed a motion to remand this case pursuant to

sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (1995):

The court shall have the power to enter, upon the

pleadings and transcript of the record, a judgment

affirming, modifying, or reversing the decision of the

Commissioner of Social Security, with or without

remanding the cause for a rehearing.

The Commissioner seeks remand for further development of the

record. Although time has passed, Plaintiff has registered no

objection to the requested remand. Under the circumstances, a

sentence four remand is appropriate. Buckner v. Apfel, 213 F.3d

1006, 1010-11 (8th Cir. 2000). 

Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED that Defendant's motion to remand (docket #16) is

hereby granted. All other pending motions are hereby rendered

moot. This is a "sentence four" remand. This dismissal is without

prejudice to Plaintiff’s subsequent filing for attorney’s fees

under the Equal Access to Justice Act.

DATED this 12th day of September, 2008.
