Facts

Anita Coffman applied for disability insurance benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act. Her application was denied initially and on reconsideration. Coffman then requested a hearing in front of an administrative law judge. The ALJ found that Coffman was not disabled and denied her application. Coffman then filed suit against Nancy Berryhill in relation to the denial of her application for benefits and the determination that she was not disabled.

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: Plaintiff argued that the ALJ's findings were inconsistent with the underlying record.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS: Defendant contended that the ALJ supplied specific and legitimate reasons for discounting plaintiff's sedentary work limitations in one doctor's opinion, and that the finding that plaintiff was supported by substantial evidence.

Result

The court granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment.
