Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, by Zachary T. Fardon, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, moves this court for an order affirming the decision of the Commissioner that plaintiff met the disability requirements under the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C.§§ 423(d), 1381a, and 1382c. Defendant moves this court for entry of final judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58. In support of this motion, defendant avers: Plaintiff filed an appeal of an adverse decision of the Commissioner of Social Security in 2010. After a motion by the Commissioner for remand, United States District Court Judge Gettleman issued an order remanding the case pursuant to the sixth sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Although the case was closed administratively on the court’s docket, the court retained jurisdiction over the action. In sentence six remands, the court enters judgment after postremand agency proceedings have been completed and their results filed with the court. Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 297 (1993). Dockets.Justia.com On August 30, 2013, an administrative law judge (ALJ) acting pursuant to this court’s remand order issued a fully favorable decision, finding that plaintiff was disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act (attached). (Although the decision is labeled “partially favorable,” the body of the decision shows that it actually granted plaintiff all of the relief he sought.) The time has expired for plaintiff to file exceptions to the ALJ’s decision and for the Appeals Council to review the case on its own motion. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.984, 416.1484. The case, therefore, is concluded and this court should affirm the Commissioner’s decision on remand and enter judgment. Plaintiff agrees with this motion. A proposed order (copy attached) will be submitted to the court’s proposed-order email address. Respectfully submitted, ZACHARY T. FARDON United States Attorney By: s/ John D. Cooke JOHN D.
