IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

TIMOTHY BROWN PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 3:05CV00106-JFF

JO ANNE B. BARNHART,

Commissioner, Social

Security Administration, DEFENDANT

ORDER

Defendant has filed an unopposed 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 to obtain evidence from a vocational expert, to evaluate the

consultative examination by Dr. Kumar, and for further development of the record. 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 unopposed motion to remand (docket

#13) is hereby 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 14th day of July, 2006.
