The following excerpt is from Alejandra V.O. v. Saul, 20cv1634-AJB-LL (S.D. Cal. 2021):
The Social Security Act permits unsuccessful applicants for benefits to seek judicial review of the Commissioner's final decisions. 42 U.S.C. 405(g). The scope of judicial review is limited in that a denial of benefits will not be disturbed if it is supported by substantial evidence and contains no legal error. Thomas v. Barnhart, 278 F.3d 947, 954 (9th Cir. 2002) (superseded on other grounds).
