Case
Charles v. Commissioner of Social Security · No. 1:24-cv-08535
Judge
Katharine Parker
Date
Feb. 13, 2025

Background

The opinion is a judgment in an action brought by DANELCHARLES against Michelle King, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. It states that the judgment follows the reasons given in a stipulation and order dated February 13, 2025, but that stipulation and order is not included in the provided text. The underlying claims and issues are therefore not described.

Ruling

The court ordered that the action be reversed and remanded to the Commissioner of Social Security under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). A sentence-four remand sends the case back for further administrative proceedings. The Commissioner must conduct those proceedings and issue a new decision. The judgment cites Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993).

Effect

The judgment does not state what the new decision must conclude. It requires further administrative proceedings and a new decision by the Commissioner. The judgment was dated February 13, 2025, in New York, New York, and was entered by Clerk Tammi M. Hellwig through a deputy clerk.
