073078P.pdf   07/09/2008  Eric Passmore  v.  Michael Astrue
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3078
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bright and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Social Security. The district court erred in reversing the
   Commissioner's denial of Passmore's disability claim on the ground that
   the his due process rights were violated when the ALJ denied his
   subpoena request; due process does not afford social security claimants
   an absolute right to cross-examine, and the ALJ did not abuse his
   discretion in denying Passmore's subpoena request; case remanded to the
   district court to determine if the denial of benefits was supported by
   substantial evidence.
