Nature of Suit Code: 863
Nature of Suit: Social Security - DIWC/DIWW (405(g))
Cause of Action: 42:405 Review of HHS Decision (DIWC)

---

Counsel for the Defendant “asked the Appeals Council to remand Plaintiff’s case on the basis 1

of new DNA evidence.” Upon receipt of the remand order, the Appeals Council “will remand

Plaintiff’s case to the Commissioner for the purpose of issuing a fully favorable decision.” (Def’s

Mem. at 1)(Doc. 11).

Plaintiff did not file any response to show cause why the motion should not be granted as 2

directed by this court’s May 25, 2006 Order (Doc. 12). Instead, Plaintiff filed a pleading titled

“Motion of Plaintiff in Support of Prayer for Complaint for Reversal and Remand for Judgment”

which indicated counsel’sfailure to receive a copy this court’s show cause order. Based upon DNA

testing of the minor claimant, Plaintiff contends that this “cause stands to be remanded and a

judgment entered so stating.” (Doc. 15).
