Background
Jose Miguel Vega brought this Social Security case against Martin O’Malley, identified in the judgment as the Commissioner of Social Security. The provided judgment does not describe the administrative decision under review, the parties’ arguments, or the specific legal issue in dispute.
Court’s Action
The judgment states that, for the reasons given in the parties’ stipulation and the court’s November 6, 2024, order, the action was “reversed and remanded” to the Commissioner. A remand sends the matter back to the agency for additional proceedings. The judgment specifically requires further administrative proceedings, a new hearing, and issuance of a new decision. It identifies the legal basis as sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), the provision allowing a federal court to enter judgment reversing the Commissioner’s decision and remanding the case.
Result
The court entered judgment reversing and remanding the action. The judgment does not state what error led to that result or what the Commissioner’s new decision must conclude. The judgment is dated November 8, 2024, and Judge Andrew Krause is the judge identified for the case.
