UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

William Joseph Finley initiated this action seeking judicial review of the administrative decision 

denying his application for Social Security benefits pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 405(g). On December 2, 

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. 

17) 

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

decision. (Doc. 17 at 1) Specifically, the parties want the ALJ “to reconsider and explain the weight 

given to the VA disability rating,” further develop the record, “and attempt to obtain any missing 

medical records.” (Id. at 2) 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)
