**Background:**
Linda Garner filed a lawsuit against Carolyn Colvin, the Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), challenging the decision regarding her entitlement to Social Security disability benefits. Garner claimed that she had a qualifying disability that prevented her from working and sought review of the final decision made by the SSA that denied her claim for benefits.
**Facts:**

- Ultimately, the SSA denied her application, concluding that Garner did not meet the criteria for disability as outlined in the Social Security Act.
**Legal Issues:**
The primary legal issue involved whether the SSA's denial of disability benefits was supported by substantial evidence and whether the correct legal standards were applied in making the determination.
**Court's Analysis:**
The court reviewed the record, including the medical evidence, the administrative law judge's (ALJ) decision, and the arguments presented by both parties. The court assessed whether the ALJ appropriately evaluated the medical evidence and whether the conclusions drawn from it were reasonable based on the applicable legal standards.
**Outcome:**
[Insert outcome, such as "the court upheld the ALJ's decision denying benefits" or "the court reversed the decision and granted benefits."]
**Conclusion:**
The case highlights the procedural and substantive requirements for obtaining Social Security disability benefits.
