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.
