United States Second Circuit

In a dispute involving disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act, district court judgment affirming the denial of plaintiff's claim is affirmed where: 1) substantial evidence supports the ALJ's determination that plaintiff is not entitled to disability benefits because he retained the ability to perform light work and there is work in the national economy that he can do; 2) the ALJ did not err in finding that the testimony of one of plaintiff's treating physicians was not entitled to significant weight; and 3) substantial evidence supports the finding that plaintiff's subjective complaints of pain were insufficient to establish disability.
