United States Eighth Circuit

A decision denying claimant's applications for disability insurance benefits (SSDI) and supplemental security income (SSI) under the Social Security Act is affirmed over claims that: 1) an ALJ erred in reaching his decision by giving no weight to the opinions of therapists and a nurse practitioner who comprised claimant's treatment team; 2) the ALJ's determination of her residual functional capacity was not supported by the medical evidence in the record; and 3) the commissioner failed to meet her burden of producing evidence that there were jobs available in the national economy for persons with claimant's impairments.
