Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 76 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although required to develop the record fully and fairly, an ALJ is not required to discuss all the evidence submitted, and an ALJ’s failure to cite specific evidence does not indicate that it was not considered. In addition to the report by [the treating physician], the record also contains the opinions of two consulting physicians, neither of whom made any observations that would support [the claimant]’s allegations of complete dis ability. Thus, given the ALJ’s explicit reliance on some of [the treating physicianj’s conclusions, we find it “highly unlikely that the ALJ did not consider and reject” those portions of his report that [the claimant] now points to in support of her appeal.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Substantial evidence” is merely such “relevant evidence that a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.” “Substantial evidence on the record as a whole,” however, requires a more scrutinizing analysis. In the review of an administrative decision, “[t]he substantiality of evidence must take into account whatever in the record fairly detracts from its weight.” Thus, the court must also take into consideration the weight of the evidence in the record and apply a balancing test to evidence which is contrary.”
