MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Before the court is the Commissioner of Social Security’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment under Sentence Four of

(g) With Remand of the Cause to the Defendant filed on November 19, 2020. (Doc. No. 16.) In his motion, the Commissioner states remand is appropriate so the agency can “re-assess the opinion evidence; re-evaluate the residual functional capacity, obtain supplemental evidence from a vocational expert to clarify the effect of the assessed limitations on the claimant’s ability to perform other work in the national economy, take any further action to complete the administrative record, offer the claimant the opportunity for a hearing, and issue a new decision.” (Id.) Sentence four of

(g) authorizes the district court to “enter, upon the pleadings and transcript of the record, a judgment affirming, modifying, or reversing the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, with or without remanding the cause for a rehearing.”

(g). The district court may remand a case to the Commissioner for a rehearing if the court finds “either . . . the decision is not supported by substantial evidence, or . . . the Commissioner or the ALJ incorrectly applied the law

relevant to the disability claim.” Jackson v. Chater,

(11th Cir. 1996). Here, the court finds remand necessary as the Commissioner concedes reconsideration and proper application of governing law and further development of the record is in order. Moreover, Plaintiff does not oppose the motion. Further, pursuant to

(c)(1) and Rule 73 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the parties have consented to the full jurisdiction of the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge. (Docs.

No. 7, 8.) Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED as follows: 1. The Commissioner’s motion (Doc. No. 16) is GRANTED. 2. The decision of the Commissioner is hereby REVERSED.

3. This matter is hereby REMANDED to the Commissioner for further proceedings pursuant to sentence four of

(g). A separate final judgment will issue. DONE this 23rd day of November, 2020.
