Case No.: C 04-2307 PVT

ORDER RE DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR

ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT

This action was filed on June 14, 2004.1 On September 26, 2005, this court entered a

Stipulation and Order of Remand. On October 2, 2006, Defendant filed a Request for Entry of Final

Judgment. Based on the request filed by Defendant and the file herein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s request is DENIED without prejudice to either

a stipulated request for entry of judgment, or else a noticed motion for summary judgment. Nothing

in sentence six of section 205(g) of the Social Security Act expressly authorizes the court to enter

judgment upon a party’s unilateral request, and the court has found no case interpreting the statute to

allow such entry of judgment. See, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Further, Section 405(g) provides that after

remand, in any case in which the Commissioner of Social Security has not made a decision fully

favorable to the individual, the Commissioner shall file with the court “a transcript of the additional

record and testimony upon which the Commissioner's action in modifying or affirming was based.” 

Ibid. Unless the parties file a stipulated request for entry of judgment, Defendant shall comply with

that requirement no later than December 22, 2006.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, if Defendant can cite case authority to support the

proposition that the court has authority to enter judgment based on the unilateral request of a party

where the Commissioner has not made a decision fully favorable to the individual, the court will

reconsider this order.
