How Judge Wiedemann decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
On Social Security appeals she applies the deferential substantial-evidence standard rigorously: a claimant's merits arguments fail where the ALJ's RFC determination and the vocational-expert hypothetical are supported by the record as a whole.
“Upon careful review of the record as a whole, the Court finds that Plaintiff's arguments are without merit and that substantial evidence supports the ALJ's RFC determination.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Based on the foregoing, the Court recommends affirming the ALJ's decision, and dismissing Plaintiff's case with prejudice.”
“the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 251) is ADOPTED IN ITS ENTIRETY, and Defendant's Motion for Reduction of Sentence and Supplement (Docs. 248 & 250) are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.”
