UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Elaine Gray initiated this action seeking judicial review of the administrative decision 

denying his application for Social Security benefits. On November 20, 2015, Plaintiff and Defendant 

Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner Social Security, stipulated to a voluntary remand of 

Plaintiff’s Social Security appeal for further administrative proceedings. (Doc. 18) 

The parties seek remand pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) to have an 

administrative law judge “reassess the weight regarding the reaching limitations provided by the State 

agency physician, and determine what, if any, additional restrictions to the residual functional capacity 

these limitations impose.” (Doc. 18 at 1-2) In addition, the ALJ should “reassess Plaintiff’s credibility 

and “utilize the assistance of a vocational expert to assist in determining what, if any, effect the 

reaching limitations have upon the occupational base.” (Id. at 2.)
