JENNA MARY ANDALIS Plaintiff v. MARTIN O'MALLEY,[1] Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Defendant
ORDER
CAROL SANDRA MOORE WELLS, United States Magistrate Judge.
AND NOW, this 24th day of January 2024, for the reasons contained in the court's Memorandum of today, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff's request for review (Document No. 8) is GRANTED, as follows:
1. The case is REMANDED to the Commissioner, pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
2. Upon remand, the ALJ shall reconsider whether Plaintiff's testimony concerning her need for naps every two hours of the day and Dr. Khoury's opinion that she suffers approximately eight sleep attacks per day ought to be accepted. In making this determination, the ALJ shall not rely upon Plaintiff's normal examinations and test results, because those are consistent with her conditions, narcolepsy with cataplexy. After doing so, the ALJ shall reconsider whether Plaintiff is disabled.
