United States Ninth Circuit

In a challenge to the denial of social security benefits by the Commissioner of Social Security, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) there was no evidence in the record from an appropriate medical source during the relevant time period that refuted the administrative law judge's (ALJ)determination that plaintiff, even with post-traumatic stress disorder, was capable of performing simple, repetitive tasks in an environment where he could work alone and without public contact; and 2) the ALJ did not err in determining Turner's residual functional capacity.
