The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) did not offer clear and convincing reasons for rejecting the nearly unanimous psychiatric opinion of severe depression by Garcia’s examining and non-examining physicians.

Chater, 157 F.3d 715, 725 (9th Cir.1998) (ALJ cannot ignore a treating physician’s opinion of disability simply because it embraces the ultimate issue of fact, but must offer specific and legitimate reasons for rejection); Embrey v. Bowen, 849 F.2d 418, 421 (9th Cir.1988) (insufficiently specific reason for rejecting a treating physician’s opinion where the ALJ simply stated that the doctor’s opinion was not supported by objective evidence). 1
