Document Text:

Upon receipt of the remand order, “the Appeals Council will remand this case to an ALJ 1

who will be instructed to thoroughly evaluate Plaintiff’s knee impairment. If necessary, the ALJ

should either contact Plaintiff’s treating physician or arrange for a consultative examination to

determine how, if at all, Plaintiff’s knee impairment affected his ability to work. Based on this

information, the ALJ should formulate a thorough RFC. The ALJ should also revisit his analysis

of Plaintiff’s credibility with respect to his allegations of knee pain, and take Plaintiff’s surgery

into consideration.” (Def’s Mem. at 1)(Doc. 17).
