IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

JUDY INGRAM PLAINTIFF

V. NO. 3:05CV00072-JTR

JO ANNE B. BARNHART,

Commissioner, Social

Security Administration DEFENDANT

ORDER

Pending before the Court is Defendant’s Motion to Remand (docket entry #12), pursuant to

sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g):

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 conduct further administrative proceedings and to

develop the record with regard to Plaintiff’s employment subsequent to her alleged onset date to

further evaluate whether such employment constituted substantial gainful activity. Plaintiff replied

that she has no objection to the requested remand. (Docket entry #13.) Under the circumstances,

a sentence four remand is appropriate. Buckner v. Apfel, 213 F.3d 1006, 1010-1011 (8th Cir. 2000).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Remand 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 6th day of June, 2006.
