United States Ninth Circuit

In an appeal arising from a denial of an application for supplementary security income and a finding that claimant was not disabled, summary judgment in favor of the Commissioner is affirmed where, even assuming that an ALJ erred in neglecting to list claimant's bursitis at Step 2, any error was harmless as it was discussed extensively at Step 4.
