U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2234
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Dubuque
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken, Circuit Judge, and Limbaugh,
District Judge]
Civil case - Social Security. The ALJ did not err in determining that
claimant did not have a severe impairment that met the criteria of listing
12.04 (affective disorders) as claimant failed to show he had experienced
episodes of decompensation of the required length; the ALJ's finding
regarding residual functional capacity were supported by substantial
evidence; the ALJ properly weighed certain medical testimony; the
hypothetical question posed to the Vocational Expert was not defective.
