IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

JONESBORO DIVISION

ADAM MORGAN PLAINTIFF

v. 3:05CV00176 JTR

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. Plaintiff promptly replied that he has no objection to the requested remand. (Docket entry

#14.) Under the circumstances, a sentence four remand is appropriate. Buckner v. Apfel, 213 F.3d

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

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant's motion to remand (docket entry #12) 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 21st day of September, 2006.
