### Case Summary: Kortney McGee v. Carolyn W. Colvin
**Docket Number:** 7836743
**Court:** United States District Court
**Date:** [Insert Date]
**Parties Involved:**
- **Plaintiff:** Kortney McGee
- **Defendant:** Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security
**Background:**
Kortney McGee filed a lawsuit against Carolyn W. Colvin, who served as the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), after the denial of her claim for Social Security disability benefits. McGee alleged that she was unable to work due to various medical conditions and sought judicial review of the SSA's decision.
**Legal Issues:**
The central legal issues in this case involved:
1. Whether the SSA's denial of McGee's disability benefits was supported by substantial evidence.
2. Whether the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) properly applied the legal standards in assessing McGee's medical conditions and overall disability status.
**Arguments:**
- **Plaintiff's Argument:** McGee argued that the ALJ failed to adequately consider the medical evidence provided by her healthcare providers, which demonstrated that her impairments significantly limited her ability to perform basic work activities. She contended that the ALJ's decision was not backed by substantial evidence and that her claims of disability were improperly evaluated.
- **Defendant's Argument:** Colvin contended that the ALJ made appropriate findings and that the decision was consistent with the Social Security regulations. The defendant argued that the ALJ thoroughly assessed the medical evidence and determined that McGee did not meet the required criteria for disability.
**Decision:**
The court reviewed the administrative record, including the medical evidence and the ALJ's decision. The court assessed whether the ALJ's findings were supported by substantial evidence and whether the legal standards were correctly applied.
**Outcome:**
[Insert the court's ruling – e.g., whether the court affirmed the ALJ's decision, reversed it, remanded the case back to the SSA, or any other outcomes.]
**Conclusion:**
This case highlights the complexities involved in appeals for Social Security disability benefits and underscores the importance of the substantial evidence standard in judicial reviews of administrative decisions. The court's ruling will have implications for McGee's future eligibility for benefits and may set precedents for similar cases in the future.
