JUDGMENT

For the reasons stated in the Memorandum Opinion of this date, the Court concludes that the decision of the Commissioner denying benefits to the Plaintiff is not supported by substantial evidence and should be reversed and remanded for further consideration pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The parties have sixty (60) days from the entry of the judgment on the docket in which to appeal.

See Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 296, 113 S.Ct. 2625 (1993); 28 U.S.C. §§ 2412(d)(1)(B), (d)(2)(G).
