   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-3570
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Harrison   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Chief Judge, Author, with Wollman and Bye,
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - social security. Decision to deny supplemental security
   income benefits is supported by substantial evidence. ALJ properly
   considered claimant's obesity. Determination claimant was not disabled
   as a result of mental impairment is supported by substantial evidence. 
   ALJ did not err in not remanding case for consultation by a psychologist
   or psychiatrist because expert found claimant did not have debilitating
   mental impairment. ALJ reasonably gave less weight to treating
   psychologist because other objective evidence contradicted his
   assessment and record did not support bias claim. ALJ adequately
   considered evidence in making credibility determinations. Residual
   functional capacity assessment was supported by substantial evidence.
