Here, the administrative law judge dismissed Plaintiff’s request for a hearing on the basis

of res judicata. After reviewing the case file, the Appeals Council has determined that res

judicata was not applicable and that Plaintiff should be offered the opportunity for a hearing.

Good cause having been shown, the action should be remanded to the Commissioner for

further proceedings as stated above. The Commissioner will reinstate the action in this Court

when the record is complete.
