Docket

*1 Before: SCHROEDER and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges, and PIERSOL, [***] District Judge.

*2 Carla Lyons (“Lyons”) appeals from the district court’s decision remanding for further proceedings in Lyons’ action for disability insurance benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act. We review the district court’s decision to remand for further proceedings for abuse of discretion, Treichler v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec. Admin. , 775 F.3d 1090, 1098 (9th Cir. 2014), and we affirm.

The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) denied Lyons disability insurance benefits upon concluding, at step two of the five-step sequential evaluation process, that Lyons’ impairments were non-severe. The ALJ did not develop the record regarding steps three, four, and five. Given the lack of analysis beyond step two, we affirm the district court’s decision to remand to the ALJ for further administrative proceedings.

AFFIRMED .
