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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he expert’s testimony is not probative of whether plaintiff in fact possessed such capacity ____ In any event, a vocational expert’s opinion that a claimant can engage in sedentary employment provides substantial evidence to deny a claim only if there is sufficient medical evidence to support a finding that the claimant possesses the residual physical capacity to do so____ In short, the vocational expert’s testimony, based upon an assumption of the very fact to be established, is insufficient to support the ALJ's finding.”
