001408P.pdf   07/10/2001  Victoria A. Howard  v.  Kenneth S. Apfel
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-1408
   Southern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - Social Security. Since there was already sufficient 
   medical evidence to support the ALJ's finding that claimant 
   retained the residual functional capacity to perform light work, 
   the Commissioner was not required to produce additional medical 
   evidence at step 5 of the sequential evaluation process; hypothetical 
   question posed to vocational expert sufficiently described deficiencies 
   of concentration, persistence or pace; evidence supported finding 
   claimant was not mentally retarded; dissent by Judge Heaney.
