   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3841
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bowman, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil Case - social security. Denial of disability insurance and
   supplemental security income benefits is supported by substantial
   evidence, as ALJ (1) did not improperly weigh medical opinions in the
   record, as medical opinion lacked consistency and treatment visits were
   infrequent; (2) did not improperly discredit subjective complaints, as ALJ
   properly identified the factors and considered relevant evidence; and (3)
   did not err in determining claimant's residual functional capacity, as
   determination is supported by evidence in the record.
