   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.
