UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION

STEVEN J. CHEVALIER, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No: 8:22-cv-2165-JSS

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant. ___________________________________/ ORDER Defendant Commissioner of Social Security (Commissioner) requests, pursuant to sentence four of

(g), that this action be reversed and remanded to the Commissioner for the following reasons: Upon remand, the Commissioner will reconsider findings at the relevant steps of the sequential evaluation process, including but not limited to a reevaluation of the Plaintiff's ability to perform work that exists in significant numbers in the national economy. Plaintiff will also be provided an opportunity for a supplemental hearing. (Motion, Dkt. 17.) Plaintiff has no objection to the requested relief. (Id.) Pursuant to sentence four of

(g), the court has the “power 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). When a case is remanded under sentence four of § 405(g), the district court’s jurisdiction over the plaintiff’s case is terminated. Jackson v. Chater,

(11th Cir. 1996); Sullivan v. Finkelstein,

(1990) (finding that a district court’s order remanding under sentence four of § 405(g) “terminated the civil action challenging the

Secretary’s final determination that respondent was not entitled to benefits”). “Immediate entry of judgment (as opposed to entry of judgment after postremand agency proceedings have been completed and their results filed with the court) is in fact the principal feature that distinguishes a sentence-four remand from a sentence- six remand.” Shalala v. Schaefer,

(1993).

A remand under sentence four of § 405(g) “is based upon a determination that the Commissioner erred in some respect in reaching the decision to deny benefits.” Jackson,

. Here, the Commissioner concedes error by requesting a reversal of the Commissioner’s decision. Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

1. The Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Dkt. 17) is GRANTED. 2. The Commissioner’s decision denying Plaintiff’s application for Social Security benefits is REVERSED. 3. The case is REMANDED to the Commissioner pursuant to sentence four

of

(g) for further administrative proceedings consistent with the reasons stated in the Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Dkt. 17) and herein. 4. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in Plaintiffs favor, terminate all other pending motions, and close this case. ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on February 13, 2023.
