**Background:**
Linda Bustamante brought a claim against Carolyn W. Colvin, who was the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) at the time of the case. Bustamante sought judicial review of the SSA's decision denying her application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.
**Facts:**
- Linda Bustamante filed for SSDI, asserting that she could not work due to various medical conditions.
- The SSA evaluated her application and concluded that she did not meet the criteria for disability as defined by the Social Security Act.
- Bustamante contested the decision, claiming that the SSA had erred in its assessment of her medical evidence and had improperly weighed her credibility.
**Legal Issues:**
- Whether the SSA's decision to deny Bustamante's benefits was supported by substantial evidence.
- Whether the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) properly applied the legal standards in evaluating Bustamante’s disability claim.
- The analysis of medical opinions and how they were weighed by the SSA in the determination of Bustamante’s case.
**Ruling:**
The court reviewed the case, considering the administrative record and the arguments presented by both parties. It focused on the substantial evidence standard, which requires that the decision must be based on relevant evidence that a reasonable mind might accept as adequate.
**Decision:**
The court upheld the SSA's decision, concluding that there was substantial evidence to support the ALJ's findings. The court found that the ALJ had reasonably weighed the medical evidence and had not erred in assessing Bustamante's symptoms and credibility.
**Conclusion:**
Linda Bustamante's appeal was denied, and the district court affirmed the decision of the SSA, effectively upholding the denial of her application for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits.
