JOSEPHINE BOWIE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant-Appellee. |
|
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Michigan at Bay City.
No. 06-14448—Thomas L. Ludington, District Judge.
Submitted: June 2, 2008
Decided and Filed: November 5, 2008
Before: MERRITT, MOORE, and ROGERS, Circuit Judges.
ROGERS, Circuit Judge. This Social Security disability appeal presents a single procedural issue regarding whether the Social Security Administration adequately explained its decision. At least on the particular facts of this case, it was procedurally acceptable for the ALJ not to address in his opinion that Bowie was “borderline” between age groups under 20 C.F.R. § 404.1563(b). The district court therefore properly upheld the Commissioner’s denial of benefits.
