Anauo v. Colvin

3 Citing cases

  1. Nieves v. Acting Comm'r of Soc. Sec.

    20-CV-4179 (JLC) (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 30, 2022)

    The ALJ's failures are particularly egregious, where, as here, the ALJ did not consider Nieves' own complaints and history alongside any “objective” evidence. See Rodriguez v. Kijakazi, No. 20-CV-6829 (JLC), 2021 WL 5292751, at *17 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 15, 2021) (citing Anauo v. Colvin, No. 15-CV-933 (MAT), 2016 WL 7320068, at *6 (W.D.N.Y. Dec. 16, 2016) (“Indeed, whether a medical provider is dealing with mental or physical impairments, consideration of a patient's report of complaints, or history, as an essential diagnostic tool, is a medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic technique.”)

  2. White v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec.

    Civil Action 20 Civ. 6222 (SLC) (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 30, 2022)

    “[C]ourts in this Circuit have observed that it is axiomatic that in diagnosing a mental disorder, a treating psychiatrist must consider a patient's subjective complaints.” Anauo v. Colvin, No. 1:15-CV-933 (MAT), 2016 WL 7320068, at *6 (W.D.N.Y. Dec. 16, 2016) (emphasis added) (citation omitted). The Court cannot fathom what a psychiatric provider, such as the nurse practitioner here, could be “expected to do . . . other than to review the patient's history, conduct a mental status examination, and to report the results and recommendations regarding the patient's ability to function.”

  3. Rodriguez v. Kijakazi

    20-CV-6829 (JLC) (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 15, 2021)

    The ALJ should have acknowledged Rodriguez's consistent testimony when determining the weight afforded to Drs. Canetti and Golden's opinions. See, e.g., Anauo v. Colvin, No. 15-CV-933 (MAT), 2016 WL 7320068, at *6 (W.D.N.Y. Dec. 16, 2016) ("Indeed, whether a medical provider is dealing with mental or physical impairments, consideration of a patient's report of complaints, or history, as an essential diagnostic tool, is a medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic technique.")
