The following excerpt is from Esparza v. Colvin, Case No. 1:15-cv-00748-SKO (E.D. Cal. 2016):
The claimant bears the burden of establishing that his or her impairment satisfies all the criteria of a particular listing. Id. "For a claimant to show that his impairment matches a listing, it must meet all of the specified medical criteria. An impairment that manifests only some of those criteria, no matter how severely, does not qualify." Sullivan v. Zebley, 493 U.S. 521, 530 (1990) (emphasis added).
