U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-2363
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Wollman and Riley, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Social Security. ALJ did not err in disregarding that
portion of the treating physician's residual functional capacity opinion
which was not supported by the record; ALJ properly analyzed and
considered claimant's fibromyalgia; ALJ's credibility determinations
were supported by valid reasons, and the court would defer to them.
