LINDA CERDA, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER RE STIPULATION FOR VOLUNTARY REMAND PURSUANT TO 42 U.S.C. § 405(G)
(ECF NO. 18)
Linda Cerda (“Plaintiff”) seeks judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”) denying an application for disability benefits pursuant to the Social Security Act. (ECF No. 1.) On June 15, 2022, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing to a voluntary remand of this matter pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further administrative proceedings. (ECF No. 18.) Pursuant to the stipulation, Defendant is to instruct the Administrative Law Judge: to give the claimant an opportunity for a hearing; to re-evaluate the evidence regarding the claimant's ability to read and write (Social Security Ruling 20-1p); obtain supplemental vocational expert evidence; and issue a new decision. (Id.) The parties request that the Clerk of the Court be directed to enter a final judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant, reversing the final decision of the Commissioner. (Id.) The Court finds good cause exists to grant the parties' stipulated request.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. The above-captioned action be remanded to the Commissioner of Social Security for further proceedings consistent with the terms of the stipulation for remand;
2. Judgment is entered in favor of Plaintiff Linda Cerda and against Defendant Commissioner of Social Security; and
3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
