Springfield v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec.

2 Citing cases

  1. Fontalvo v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec.

    22-CV-03076(EK) (E.D.N.Y. May. 1, 2024)

    In the end, the ALJ essentially limited Fontalvo to unskilled work. See Decker v. Sec'y of Health and Human Servs., 647 F.2d 291, 295 (2d Cir. 1981) (unskilled work is work that requires little judgment in performing simple duties); see also Springfield v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 16-CV-6947, 2019 WL 1508994, at *6, *13 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 31, 2019) (upholding determination of ALJ that limited plaintiff to simple, unskilled, low-stress jobs; low stress defined as no work at a fixed production rate).

  2. Burmeister v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec. Admin.

    18-CV-1047 (JS) (E.D.N.Y. Sep. 30, 2019)   Cited 2 times
    Noting that the ALJ properly considered "the documentary evidence, treatment notes, and Plaintiff's own testimony regarding his limitations" in making a RFC finding

    The ALJ's hypotheticals comported with an RFC for light work with the limitations in Plaintiff's RFC, which is supported by substantial evidence. See Springfield v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 16-CV-6947, 2019 WL 1508994, at *13 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 31, 2019) ("an ALJ certainly is not required to incorporate restrictions into the RFC or pose a hypothetical to a vocational expert] that [is] not supported by the record" (internal quotation marks and citations omitted; alterations in original)). Thus, the step five finding is also supported by substantial evidence.
