This matter is before the Court on the parties' Joint Motion to Remand (Doc. 11) 
and Joint Status Report (Doc. 12). In their Motion and Joint Status Report, the parties 
request that the Court reverse the Commissioner's decision and remand this matter to the

Accordingly, based on the deficits in the Administrative Law Judge's consideration of 
this matter, the Court ORDERS the following:
