IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

TRACY N. SANDERS PLAINTIFF

v. 3:03CV00205 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, including requesting

an updated report from Plaintiff’s treating sources, and to issue a new decision. Plaintiff replied that

she 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). 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant's Motion to Remand (docket entry #14) 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 16th of March, 2006.
