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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The [Commissioner] must determine in sequence: (1) whether the claimant is currently employed; (2) whether she has a severe impairment; (3) whether her impairment meets or equals one listed by the [Commissioner]; (4) whether the claimant can perform her past work; and (5) whether the claimant is capable of performing any work in the national economy. Once the claimant has satisfied Steps One and Two, she will automatically be found disabled if she suffers from a listed impairment. If the claimant does not have a listed impairment but cannot perform her past work, the burden shifts to the [Commissioner] to show that the claimant can perform some other job.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Substantial evidence is more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The Secretary argues that the ALJ rejected Schroeter’s hearing testimony concerning the demands of her past work because her oral description conflicted with the written disability reports she completed before the hearing. But while we must defer to an ALJ’s credibility assessment of a witness (unless it is patently wrong), we must first be certain that a credibility determination has actually been made. If the ALJ disbelieved Schroeter’s testimony at the hearing, he did not say so in his opinion, and we cannot “presume that the ALJ disbelieved all of this evidence without any explicit findings to that effect.” Id. (citations omitted.) 6”
