IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

RICHARD BROWN PLAINTIFF

V. NO. 3:05CV00156-HLJ

JO ANNE B. BARNHART,

Commissioner, Social

Security Administration DEFENDANT

ORDER

Defendant has filed a motion to remand this case pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. §

405(g):

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 hearing.

The Commissioner seeks remand for further evaluation of the record, including Plaintiff’s

covered earnings of $13,846 as posted on his earnings record for 2001, and the medical and other

evidence of record. Plaintiff replied that he has no objection to the requested remand (docket entry

#19). Under the circumstances, a sentence four remand is appropriate. Buckner v. Apfel, 213 F.3d

1006, 1010-1011 (8th Cir. 2000).

Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED that Defendant’s motion to remand (docket entry # 18) is granted. This is a

“sentence four” remand. This dismissal is without prejudice to Plaintiff’s subsequent filing for

attorney’s fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act.

DATED this 5th day of May, 2006.
