Civil Action No. 4:25-CV-00670-
SDJ-AGD
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Before the Court for consideration is the Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion
for Entry of Judgment with Remand (“Commissioner’s Motion”) (Dkt. #19). After
considering the Commissioner’s Motion, all pleadings on file, and the applicable law,
the court finds the Commissioner’s Motion (Dkt. #19) should be GRANTED.
On June 25, 2025, Plaintiff Samaiyah Henderson filed this action seeking
judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision denying her application for disability
insurance benefits under the Social Security Act (Dkt. #1). On February 2, 2026, the
Commissioner filed the Commissioner’s Motion, (Dkt. #19), asserting remand is
appropriate and requesting the Court reverse and remand the case for further
administrative proceedings pursuant to the fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The
Commissioner’s Motion is unopposed; accordingly, it appears both Parties agree that
reversal and remand of this action is necessary (Dkt. #19 at p. 2).
Section 405(g) provides: “The court shall have power to enter, upon the
pleadings and transcript of the record, a judgment affirming, modifying, or reversing
the decision of the Commission of Social Security, with or without remanding the

cause 	for 	a 	rehearing.” 	42 	U.S.C. 	§ 405(g). 	Because 	further 	administrative
proceedings are required in this case, the Court agrees that remand is appropriate
pursuant to the fourth sentence of Section 405(g). Based on the foregoing, the Court
finds the Commissioner’s final decision is hereby reversed, and Plaintiff’s disability
claim 	is 	hereby 	remanded 	to 	allow 	the 	Commissioner 	to 	conduct 	further
administrative proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) and
Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89 (1991).
For 	the 	foregoing 	reasons, 	it 	is 	ORDERED 	that 	the 	Commissioner’s
Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand (Dkt. #19) is GRANTED.
The Commissioner’s decision is hereby REVERSED and REMANDED for further
administrative proceedings pursuant to the fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
