IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

LITTLE ROCK DIVISION

JANICE F. STOWE PLAINTIFF

v. 4:06cv00769 JTR

JO ANNE B. BARNHART,

Commissioner, Social

Security Administration DEFENDANT

ORDER

Defendant has filed a Motion to Remand for further administrative proceedings pursuant to

sentence six (docket entry #7). Defendant states that Plaintiff was awarded benefits under Titles II

and XVI on subsequent applications filed on February 14, 2006. The State Agency found that

Plaintiff became disabled on January 27, 2006, and suggests that there was new and material

evidence with respect to the period on or before the date of the adverse decision. In addition, the

State Agency found Plaintiff’s obesity and disorders of the muscle/connective tissue to be disabling.

Defendant requests remand to reevaluate the pending claim to include consideration of the evidence

on which the State Agency’s allowance was based. Plaintiff does not object to this remand. 

In pertinent part, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (1995) provides the following: 

The court may, on motion of the Commissioner of Social Security

made for good cause shown before the Commissioner files the

Commissioner's answer, remand the case to the Commissioner of

Social Security for further action by the Commissioner of Social

Security . . . .

Under the circumstances, there is good cause shown, and remand is proper. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant’s Unopposed Motion for Remand (docket

entry #7) is hereby GRANTED, and this case is remanded to the Commissioner. This is a "sentence

six" remand.
