FRANK D. WHITNEY, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Commissioner's Motion to Remand, (Doc. No. 11). For the reasons stated in the motion, to which Higgins consents, the Court finds good cause has been alleged for remand and further administrative fact-finding is warranted.

See Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993); Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89 (1991).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all other pending motions shall be denied as moot, and the Clerk is respectfully directed to CLOSE THE CASE.
