**Parties Involved:**

- **Defendant:** Nancy Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security
**Background:**
John Barrett filed a complaint against Nancy Berryhill, who was the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), challenging the agency's decision regarding his application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Barrett claimed that the SSA improperly denied his application for benefits, arguing that the administrative law judge (ALJ) failed to consider all relevant evidence and did not adequately assess the severity of his impairments.
**Issues:**
1. Whether the ALJ's decision to deny Barrett’s claim for SSDI benefits was supported by substantial evidence.
2. Whether the ALJ properly evaluated Barrett’s credibility regarding his reported symptoms and limitations.
3. Whether the ALJ adequately considered all medical evidence and opinions from Barrett's treating physicians.
**Ruling:**
The court reviewed the administrative record to determine if the ALJ's findings were supported by substantial evidence and if the legal standards were appropriately applied. The court considered the credibility of Barrett’s claims, the thoroughness of the ALJ’s evaluation of medical evidence, and the adherence to procedural requirements in adjudicating the case.
