IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

SAMMY J. BATES Plaintiff

v. NO. 4:06CV00266 GTE

JO ANNE B. BARNHART,

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 and to issue a new decision. Defendant advises the Court that

after consulting with Plaintiff, he has 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 #8) 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
