Chief Judge Gary Sharpe
Churchill’s minor son ZWC has allegedly been disabled since 1998. An administrative law judge’s (ALJ) April 8, 2011, denial of Churchill’s application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on ZWC’s behalf became defendant commissioner’s final decision. District court affirmed. Dismissing Churchill’s July 12, 2012, complaint for review 42 USC §405(g), it rejected her claims that the ALJ erred in deciding that ZWC lacked “marked limitations” in the moving about and manipulating objects, and health and physical well-being domains. Substantial evidence supported the ALJ’s functional equivalency analysis. Although notes from treating sources prevented ZWC from carrying his school books or participating in physical education due to headaches and neck pain, medical evidence, treatment notes and reports by Churchill and ZWC supported the ALJ’s conclusion that ZWC suffered less than marked limitation in the moving about and manipulating objects domain. With respect to ZWC’s health and well-being the court observed, among other things, that treatment notes from 2008 through 2010 showed that ZWC’s impairments did not interfere with his ability to function in school, where he did not suffer headaches.
