How Judge McCoy decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Social Security substantial-evidence review (as 636(c) consent judge of record): rigorously applies the deferential substantial-evidence standard, declining to reweigh the evidence. Will affirm the ALJ's RFC and subjective-symptom (pain) determinations where they are adequately supported by the record, even when the claimant points to a severe impairment he says was under-accounted for.
“the ALJ's subjective symptom determination is supported by substantial evidence and the ALJ's decision is due to be affirmed as to this issue.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“The decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. 405(g). The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly ... and to close the case.”
