   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-2751
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Waterloo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Social Security. ALJ's finding that claimant retained the
   residual functional capacity to perform his past work as a cab driver, user
   support analyst and computer operator was supported by substantial
   evidence; ALJ did not err in discrediting a letter written by claimant's
   treating physician and claimant's subjective statements regarding his
   limitations as the letter and the statements were inconsistent with the
   medical evidence and claimant's own testimony regarding his activities;
   district court order overturning the denial of benefits is reversed and the
   order denying benefits is affirmed.
