Background
The available document is a judgment in Filiberto Gonzalez's case against Leland Dudek, the Commissioner of Social Security. It provides no details about the administrative decision being challenged, the parties' arguments, or the specific legal error involved.
Ruling
The court ordered that the action be reversed and remanded to the Commissioner under sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). A remand sends the case back to the agency for additional action. The judgment specifically requires further administrative proceedings, a new hearing, and issuance of a new decision. It cites Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292 (1993).
Basis and Scope
The judgment says the ruling was made for the reasons stated in a stipulation and order dated April 3, 2025. That stipulation and order is not included in the provided text, so the basis for the reversal and remand cannot be determined from this document alone. Judge Katharine Parker is identified in the supplied case information; the judgment itself is signed by the court clerk's office.
