UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Pamela Sugden initiated this action seeking judicial review of the administrative decision 

denying her application for Social Security benefits. On October 6, 2016, 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. 15) 

The parties seek remand to have an administrative law judge to hold a new hearing and issue a 

decision. (Doc. 15 at 1) Specifically, the parties want “the ALJ to obtain vocational expert testimony 

that considers the claimant’s RFC and other vocational factors and take any necessary further action to

complete the administrative record.” (Id.) Further, the parties noted the matter was to be remanded 

under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and request final judgment be entered in favor of the 

plaintiff. (Id. at 1-2)
