Doc. 8-1) and this matter was referred to this Court for resolution (Rec. Doc. 9). For the reasons set forth in this Court's memorandum ruling,
IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Commissioner's decision is REVERSED and REMANDED to the Commissioner pursuant to the fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). More particularly, the Commissioner is instructed to properly weigh the opinions of the claimant's treating psychiatrist and again evaluate the claimant's residual functional capacity and ability to work. The claimant shall be permitted to supplement the record with updated medical evidence and to have another hearing, if desired.
A fourth sentence remand constitutes a final judgment that triggers the filing period for an EAJA fee application. Shalala v. Schaeffer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993); Freeman v. Shalala, 2 F.3d 552, 553 (5
