Opinion
Brazil, J.
ORDER
INTRODUCTION
On February 21, 2008, Plaintiff Terry Wright moved for summary judgment, seeking judicial review of a “partially favorable” (Tr. at 12) final decision by the Commissioner of Social Security finding that Mr. Wright was disabled as of September 19, 2006 — as opposed to January 12, 2005, the date Mr. Wright filed his application seeking benefits — and awarding Mr. Wright Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”) benefits as of September 19, 2006. Defendant, the Commissioner of Social Security, opposed Plaintiffs motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment on March 24, 2008, asking the Court to affirm the Commissioner’s final decision. Plaintiff did not file a Reply brief. The matter then was deemed submitted for decision by this court without oral argument, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-5. After careful review and consideration of the record and the papers submitted, the court hereby DENIES defendant’s cross-motion for summary judgment and GRANTS, in part, Plaintiffs request for relief by VACATING the Commissioner’s decision and REMANDING the action to the Commissioner for further administrative proceedings consistent with this Order.
