**Date:** [Insert date of the ruling or filing]
**Parties Involved:**
- **Plaintiff:** Nickolas McMahon
- **Defendant:** Nancy Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security
**Background:**
Nickolas McMahon filed a lawsuit against Nancy Berryhill, who was the Acting Commissioner of Social Security at the time of the case. McMahon sought judicial review of the decision made by the Social Security Administration (SSA) regarding his application for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.
**Facts:**
- McMahon applied for SSDI benefits, claiming he was disabled due to various medical conditions.
- The SSA initially denied his application, asserting that he did not meet the necessary criteria for disability under the Social Security Act.
- McMahon appealed the denial, leading to an administrative hearing where he presented evidence to support his claim.
- The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ultimately upheld the denial of benefits, finding that McMahon had the residual functional capacity to perform certain types of work despite his impairments.
**Issue:**
The central issue in this case was whether the ALJ's decision to deny McMahon's SSDI benefits was supported by substantial evidence and consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
**Arguments:**
- **Plaintiff's Argument:** McMahon argued that the ALJ failed to properly evaluate the evidence, including medical opinions, and did not adequately consider the limiting effects of his medical conditions on his ability to work.
- **Defendant's Argument:** Berryhill contended that the ALJ followed the correct legal standards and that the decision was supported by substantial evidence, including the assessments made by medical professionals and other relevant information.
**Court’s Decision:**
