(SS) Calderon v. Commissioner of Social Security

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 ROBERTO A. CALDERON, No. 2:19-cv-00096-MCE-KJN Plaintiff, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

ON PARTIES’ CROSS-MOTIONS

v. FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL

SECURITY,

15 Defendant. 16 Plaintiff seeks judicial review of a final decision by the Commissioner of Social Security denying plaintiff’s application for Title II Disability Insurance Benefits. In his summary judgment motion, plaintiff primarily contends the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) erred in weighing medical evidence and testimony regarding plaintiff’s mental impairments. The Commissioner opposes plaintiff’s motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. After considering the parties’ written briefing, the record, and the applicable law, the court recommends DENYING the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment, GRANTING plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, and REMANDING this case for further proceedings. //// //// 27 1 This action was referred…
