CompFox AI Summary
Johnny Lee, acting pro se, sought judicial review under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) and § 1383(c) of the Commissioner of Social Security's final decision that he was not disabled and thus ineligible for SSDI or SSI benefits. After an initial denial, a reversal and remand by the court, and a second hearing before ALJ John Costello which again denied benefits, Lee filed this action. The Commissioner moved for judgment on the pleadings, which the court granted. The court affirmed the Commissioner's decision, finding substantial evidence in the administrative record. The court concluded that Lee's subjective complaints of chronic back and knee pain were not supported by objective medical evidence from multiple physicians, and the ALJ's credibility findings were reasonable.
