judgment should be entered in favor of plaintiff. See Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 302-
303 (1993).

Commissioner (Doc. 25) is GRANTED. The final decision of the Commissioner of Social
Security is REVERSED and REMANDED to the Commissioner for rehearing and
reconsideration of the evidence, pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The Clerk
of Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff.
