PER CURIAM:
Pamela Denise Idlett appeals the district court’s order accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting the Acting Commissioner of the Social
Security Administration’s motion to remand for further administrative proceedings
pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2012), and denying Idlett’s motion for
summary judgment requesting an award of disability insurance benefits.* We review a
district court’s summary judgment decision de novo, Lee v. Town of Seaboard, 863 F.3d
323, 327 (4th Cir. 2017), and a district court’s choice of remedy in a social security
action for an abuse of discretion, Radford v. Colvin, 734 F.3d 288, 295 (4th Cir. 2013).
We have reviewed the record and perceive no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order and deny Idlett’s motion to appoint counsel. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
* Although the district court remanded Idlett’s case for further proceedings, the
order is appealable because the district court denied Idlett’s request for an award of
benefits. Forney v. Apfel, 524 U.S. 266, 271 (1998).
