MEMORANDUM & ORDER
SISON, Magistrate Judge:
Before the Court is the parties’ Agreed Motion to Remand to the Commissioner.
(Doc. 14). The parties ask that this case be remanded for further proceedings pursuant to
sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). A sentence four remand (as opposed to a sentence six
remand) depends upon a finding of error, and is itself a final, appealable order. See
Melkonyan v. Sullivan, 501 U.S. 89, 98 (1991); Perlman v. Swiss Bank Corp. Comprehensive
Disability Protection Plan, 195 F.3d 975, 978 (7th Cir. 1999). Upon a sentence four remand,
judgment should be entered in favor of plaintiff. See Shalala v. Schaefer, 509 U.S. 292, 302-
303 (1993). The parties agree that, upon remand, the ALJ will “proceed through the
sequential disability evaluation process as appropriate and issue a new decision.”
1 	Plaintiff’s full name will not be used in this Order due to privacy concerns. See FED.
R. C IV. P ROC . 5.2(c) and the Advisory Committee Notes thereto.
2 	This case was assigned to the undersigned for final disposition upon consent of
the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). See (Doc. 10).
