IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

KATRINA RUTTER PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 3:05CV00215 JWC

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) (1995):

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 rehearing.

The Commissioner seeks remand for further development of the record, including

a new hearing and reassessment of Plaintiff’s residual functional capacity, and to issue a

new decision. Plaintiff promptly replied that she has no objection to the requested remand.

Under the circumstances, a sentence four remand is appropriate. Buckner v. Apfel, 213

F.3d 1006, 1010-11 (8th Cir. 2000). 

Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED that Defendant's motion to remand (docket entry #14) 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 26th day of May, 2006.
