Document Text:

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

who will be instructed to conduct a supplemental hearing and afford Plaintiff the opportunity to

submit additional evidence. The ALJ will give further consideration to the opinion rendered by the

medical expert at the hearing of August 30, 2004. The ALJ will also reconcile the internally

inconsistent opinion of Kahing Chan, M.D. Finally, the ALJ will obtain supplemental vocational

expert testimony, should it be warranted at step five of the sequential evaluation process.” (Def’s

Mem. at 1)(Doc. 18).

Plaintiff did not file any response to show cause why the motion should not be granted as 2

directed by this court’s July 27, 2006 Order (Doc. 19).
