United States Ninth Circuit

In appeal from denial of Social Security disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits, administrative law judge's (ALJ) discrediting of claimant's conflicting testimony was supported by the record as to some conditions but not as to others; ALJ properly discounted the opinion of a treating physician.
