Defendant's Attorney: Christopher Potter

Description: Albany, New York social security disability lawyer represented Plaintiff seeking review of the denial of application for disability benefits.


Currently pending before the court in this action, in which plaintiff
seeks judicial review of an adverse administrative determination by the Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”), pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 405(g) and 1383(c), are cross-motions for judgment on the pleadings.[1] Oral argument was conducted in connection with those motions on July 6, 2022, during a telephone conference held on the record. At the close of argument, I issued a bench decision in which, after applying the requisite deferential review standard, I found that the Commissioner's determination did not result from the application of proper legal principles and is not supported by substantial evidence, providing further detail regarding my reasoning and addressing the specific issues raised by the plaintiff in this appeal.
