1Opinion of the Court
WALTER E. HOFFMAN, Senior District Judge:
Thomas W. Smith appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services (“Secretary”), which denied Smith’s application for a period of disability and disability insurance ■benefits. Concluding that the Secretary’s decision is deficient in a pivotal finding, we vacate the judgment of the district court and remand this case to that court with instructions to remand it to the Secretary for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
