Finding that the ALJ properly rejected a treating physician's opinion as unpersuasive, in part because the physician's opinion was not supported by any objective examinations or findings and was contradicted by other record evidence, even though there was a wealth of subjective reports by the claimant regarding his mental health limitations
Plaintiff also cites to another Arizona district court case in support of this proposition, but the Court there merely applied the legal standards from the Ninth Circuit, cited above. (ECF No. 20, at p. 17), citing Robinson v. Commissioner of Social Security Administration, 2019 WL 4667979, at *5 (D. Ariz., Sept. 25, 2019) (“The evidence shows that Plaintiff suffers from an impairment that can be considered severe within the meaning of the Act and its regulations. However, because the ALJ ended the inquiry at step two, the record is underdeveloped with respect to Plaintiff's ability (or inability) to sustain work in the national economy.”).
