Document Text:

“Defendant requests remand “to further evaluate Plaintiff’s ability to perform other work 1

existing in significant numbers in the national economy.” Upon receipt of the remand order, the

Appeals Council “will remand Plaintiff’s case to an ALJ to obtain supplemental vocational expert

testimony that is consistent with a residual functional capacity for light work. In addition, the ALJ

shall take any further action needed to complete the administrative record and will issue a new

decision.” (Def’s Mem. at 1)(Doc. 16).

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

directed by this court’s February 17, 2006 Order (Doc. 17).
