WESTERN DIVISION

EDDIE TROY Plaintiff

v. 4:06CV00622 JFF

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,

Commissioner, Social 

Security Administration,1 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. Although time has passed,

Plaintiff has registered 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 #21) 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

Case 4:06-cv-00622-JFF Document 24 Filed 05/23/07 Page 1 of 3
