Opinion of the Court

Before the Court is the Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment With Remand.1 (Doc. 15.) The Commissioner believes that remand is appropriate to conduct further administrative proceedings, offer the claimant the opportunity for a hearing, and issue a new decision. (Id. at 1.) Plaintiff consents to the relief requested. Under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), the Court has the power to enter judgment, reversing and remanding a social security case for rehearing. See Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 296-98 (1993); Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89, 101- 02 (1991). The Commissioner’s request for remand is appropriate, and given Plaintiff’s consent, it will be granted. Accordingly, it is now ORDERED:
