AND NOW, this 28th day of August, 2013, upon consideration
of the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment, the Court, upon
review of the Commissioner of Social Security's final decision, denying
plaintiff's claim for disability insurance benefits under Subchapter
II of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §401, et seq., finds that the
Commissioner's findings are supported by substantial evidence and,
accordingly, affirms.
See 42 U.S.C. §405 (g); Jesurum v. Secretary of
U.S. Department of Health
&
Human Services, 48 F.3d 114, 117 (3d Cir.
1995) i Williams v. Sullivan, 970 F.2d 1178,1182 (3d Cir. 1992), cert.
denied sub nom., 507 U.S. 924 (1993)
1213 (3d Cir. 1988).
944
(W.D.
Pa.
1990)
i
Brown v. Bowen, 845 F.2d 1211,
See also Berry v. Sullivan, 738 F. Supp. 942,
(if
supported by
substantial
evidence,
the
Commissioner's decision must be affirmed, as a federal court may neither
reweigh the evidence, nor reverse, merely because it would have decided
the claim differently)
(citing Cotter v. Harris,
642 F.2d 700, 705
(3dCir.1981)).
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's Motion for
Summary Judgment (document No.9) is DENIED and defendant's Motion for
Summary Judgment (document No. 11) is GRANTED.
