U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 08-1609
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Jonesboro
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Smith and Gruender, Circuit
Judges]
Civil case - Social Security. District court did not abuse its discretion
in denying claimant's request to remand the case for consideration of new
evidence under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 405(g) as claimant failed to establish good
cause for a remand; ALJ properly weighed the medical evidence and
claimant's subjective complaints; the record in the case did not put the
ALJ on notice that claimant's mental capacity was at issue, and the ALJ
fairly and fully developed the record based on the evidence before him.
