COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant. / ORDER Before the Court is the Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand. (Doc. 20.)

The Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Doc. 20) is GRANTED. 2. The decision denying benefits is REVERSED and this case is REMANDED pursuant to sentence four of
42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for further proceedings. 3. The Clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment, terminate all deadlines, deny all pending motions as moot, and close the file. ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this February 7, 2023. ZL Lak o Lo Dudek United States Magistrate Judge
