STIPULATED REQUEST TO VOLUNTARY 

REMAND PUSUANT TO SENTENCE FOUR

(Doc. 23)

On March 22, 2024, plaintiff Oralia Lopez filed this action seeking judicial review of 

the final decision of the Social Security Commissioner denying her application for social 

security disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits for lack of disability. 

(Doc. 1.) The matter was referred to a United States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On September 24, 2024, the parties filed a stipulated request to voluntary remand this 

action pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) and to the entry of judgment. (Doc. 21.) 

On October 1, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, 

recommending that the terms of the stipulation be adopted. (Doc. 23.) Those findings and 

recommendations were served on the parties and contained notice that any objections thereto 

were to be filed within fourteen (14) days of service. (Id.) Neither party filed objections, and

the time to do so has passed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court has conducted a 

de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the file, the Court concludes that the 

findings and recommendations are supported by the record and proper analysis. 

Accordingly:

1. The findings and recommendations issued on October 1, 2024 (Doc. 23) are 

adopted in full;

2. This matter is remanded to the Commissioner of Social Security for further 

administrative proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g);

3. Upon remand, the Appeals Council shall remand the case to an Administrative Law 

Judge for a new decision in accordance with the parties’ stipulation (Doc. 21); and

4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter a final judgment in favor of plaintiff, and 

against defendant, reversing the final decision of the Commissioner, and to 

terminate all pending dates.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
