**Parties Involved:**

**Background:**

**Facts:**
- Glen Roe applied for Social Security disability benefits, asserting that he was unable to work due to certain medical conditions.
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) denied his initial application, leading Roe to request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
- The ALJ ultimately upheld the denial of benefits, concluding that Roe did not meet the SSA’s criteria for disability as outlined in the Social Security Act.
- Roe contended that the ALJ’s decision was not supported by substantial evidence and that he was indeed disabled as per the medical evaluations and personal testimonies provided during the hearing.
**Legal Issues:**
1. Whether the ALJ properly evaluated Roe's medical evidence and subjective complaints regarding his disability.
2. Whether the findings of the ALJ were supported by substantial evidence in the administrative record.
**Court Rulings:**
- The court reviewed the evidence presented and the ALJ's findings.
- It considered both medical opinions and testimony regarding Roe's ability to engage in gainful employment.
- The court assessed the legal standard for disability under the Social Security Act and the process through which the SSA determines eligibility.
**Conclusion:**
The court ultimately ruled in favor of one party, affirming or reversing the ALJ’s decision based on the findings. [Summarize whether Roe's appeal was granted or denied, and any implications of the ruling. Include any instructions for further action, if applicable.]
