DONNA MARIE DUMONT LAVALLEE
v.
MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY.
Civil Action No. 09-10201-RGS.
United States District Court, D. Massachusetts.
June 11, 2010.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON APPELLANT’S MOTION TO REVERSE AND APPELLEE’S MOTION TO AFFIRM THE DECISION OF THE COMMISSIONER
RICHARD G. STEARNS, District Judge.
Donna Marie Dumont Lavallee seeks review of the final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), adopting an Administrative Law Judge’s (ALJ) decision finding that she is not disabled. Lavallee asserts that the ALJ erred in rendering his opinion by: (1) failing to give appropriate weight to the opinions of her treating physician(s); (2) giving too much credence to the opinion of a consultative examiner; and (3) determining that her subjective complaints were largely not credible and inconsistent with the medical evidence. The Commissioner moves for affirmance.
