Questão jurídica principal
Whether ordering the medical expertise amounted to an unlawful delay of proceedings
Decisão extraída
No. The IV office retained discretion under the duty to investigate and did not obviously exceed that discretion by maintaining the expertise order.
Fundamentação extraída
The challenged interim decision did not alter the original expert mandate; it concerned only the relationship with the insured. The requested specialties were consistent with the remand judgment, and any later deviation by the expert institution would affect the probative value of the report, not the lawfulness of ordering it.
