   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2076
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Murphy, Circuit Judge, and
   Goldberg, Judge of the United States Court of International Trade]
Civil case - Social Security. The ALJ did not err in evaluating the medical evidence and in choosing not to give controlling weight to claimant's treating physician's evidence; the ALJ did not err in finding the record undermined claimant's credibility regarding her subjective complaints of disabling pain and disability; claim that the ALJ should have ordered a consultative evaluation or obtained records related to claimant's private long-term disability insurance claims is rejected; substantial evidence supported the decision to deny benefits, and the district court's judgment is affirmed.
