MEMORANDUM OPINION
SIDNEY A. FITZWATER, Chief Judge.
In this action seeking judicial review of the denial of social security disability benefits, the court must decide whether — following an agreed remand under the fourth sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) — the Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”) was prohibited by the law-of-the-case doctrine or the mandate rule from reexamining any issues other than the ones identified in the remand order. Concluding that he was not, the court affirms the Commissioner’s decision denying disability benefits.
