proceedings not inconsistent with this decision. (See Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89

(1991)). The remand pursuant to sentence four of § 405(g) makes the plaintiff a prevailing

party for purposes of the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, Shalala v. Schaefer, 509

U.S. 292 (1993), and terminates this Court’s jurisdiction over this matter.
