U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-1617
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Northern
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Gruender and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Social Security. The ALJ did not improperly evaluate the
medical evidence in reaching the decision to deny benefits as the ALJ
adequately evaluated the persuasiveness of the doctor's opinion and had
sufficient grounds to conclude the opinion was unpersuasive; the ALJ also
properly evaluated the persuasiveness of a second doctor's opinion;
substantial evidence supported the ALJ's residual functional capacity
assessment.
