**Case Summary: Alessa Buitron v. Nancy Berryhill**
**Docket Number:** 4582549
**Court:** United States District Court
**Date:** [Insert Date Here]
**Parties:**
- **Plaintiff:** Alessa Buitron
- **Defendant:** Nancy Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security
**Background:**
Alessa Buitron filed a complaint against Nancy Berryhill, who was the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) at the time of the case. The plaintiff challenged the decision made by the SSA regarding her application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.
**Facts:**
1. Alessa Buitron applied for SSDI, claiming disability due to various medical conditions which she asserted significantly impeded her ability to work.
2. The SSA initially denied her application, leading Buitron to request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
3. During the hearing, Buitron presented evidence, including medical records and testimony regarding her health condition and its impact on her daily functioning.
4. The ALJ ultimately ruled against Buitron, determining that she did not meet the legal criteria for disability under the Social Security Act.
**Issues:**
The primary issue at hand was whether the ALJ erred in her evaluation of Buitron’s claims of disability, including the assessment of her medical evidence, credibility, and the application of the relevant legal standards.
**Legal Analysis:**
The court reviewed the evidence presented, including the medical records, the ALJ's assessment of Buitron's credibility, and whether the ALJ properly applied the five-step process for determining disability.
- The court evaluated whether the ALJ gave sufficient weight to medical opinions.
- It also considered whether the ALJ adequately addressed Buitron’s limitations and the RFC (Residual Functional Capacity) assessment.
**Conclusion:**
The case concluded with the court either affirming the ALJ's decision or reversing/remanding the case depending on the findings regarding legal standards and evidentiary support. If the court found that the ALJ's decision was not supported by substantial evidence, it would remand the case for further proceedings.
