IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EL DORADO DIVISION

SONYA M. BUNN PLAINTIFF

vs. Civil No. 05-1013

JO ANNE B. BARNHART,

Commissioner, Social Security Administration DEFENDANT

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Now on this 22nd day of August, 2005, there is pending before the undersigned, the

Commissioner’s Motion To Remand, filed herein on August 16, 2005, by the Commissioner

of Social Security (hereinafter "Commissioner") (Doc. #11). On today’s date, the staff of the

undersigned confirmed with Plaintiff’s counsel, R. Theodore Stricker, that there is no

objection by Plaintiff to said motion.

In the instant motion, the Commissioner asserts that reversal of her decision, and

remand of this matter, are necessary to enable the Commissioner, via an Administrative Law

Judge (ALJ) to: re-evaluate the medical evidence taking into consideration Plaintiff’s obesity

pursuant to SSR 02-01p; articulate Plaintiff’s functional limitations; and, obtain additional

Vocational Expert (VE) testimony to determine the existence of a significant number of jobs

in the national economy that Plaintiff could perform in light of her nonexertional

impairments, including borderline intellectual functioning (Doc. #11). 

Sentence four provides:

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], with or without

remanding the cause for a rehearing.

Accordingly, we conclude that the Commissioner’s motion requesting reversal of the

decision and remand, is well taken. The Commissioner’s decision is reversed and this matter

is remanded for further hearing, pursuant to sentence four, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), for further

proceedings, as specifically set forth above and in the Commissioner’s motion (Doc. #11).

In addition, the undersigned finds that the Plaintiff’s Complaint should be and hereby

is dismissed without prejudice to the subsequent filing for attorney’s fees pursuant to the

Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412. A separate Judgment shall be entered herein

pursuant to F.R.Civ.P. 58 and 52.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
