ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant. _______________________________/ REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION This action was initiated under the Social Security Act to obtain judicial review of Defendant’s final decision denying Plaintiff’s claim for disability benefits (Doc. 1). Now before the court is Defendant’s Motion to Remand pursuant to sentence four of Title 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (Doc. 29). Defendant has certified that Plaintiff has no objection to this motion (id.). Sentence four of section 405(g) states that “[t]he court shall have 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.” 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). In the instant case, the Commissioner states that remand is appropriate to enable an Administrative Law Judge to: further consider[] step three of the childhood disability analysis. The ALJ will analyze the evidence at each tier of step three and set forth the reasoning that supports the ALJ’s findings at each tier. Additionally, the ALJ will articulate the rationale for her determination of the credibility of Plaintiff and his mother. (Doc. 29, Memorandum in Support at 1). Based upon the foregoing, this court concludes that good cause has been shown for remand. Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED: 1. That Defendant’s Motion to Remand (Doc. 29) be GRANTED, and the Dockets.Justia.com Page 2 of 2 Commissioner’s decision denying benefits be REVERSED. 2.
