[Ujnder 20 C.F.R. § 404.1567 (b), a finding that a claimant has the residual functional capacity for light work includes a finding that he has the capacity for sedentary work. Incorporating the sedentary work capability determination within the finding of light work capability is not error unless there are additional limiting factors such as loss of fine dexterity or inability to sit for long periods of time____ Thus, the district court was authorized to make the narrower, sedentary finding rather than the more inclusive finding of capacity for light work.”
