UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION
SHARI LAVERN REID,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No.: 2:19-cv-747-FtM-38NPM

Reid does not oppose the Motion. Under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), the Court has the power to enter judgment, reversing and remanding a social security case for rehearing. See also Shalala v.
