How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that ALJ properly relied on vocational expert’s testimony indicating that allowing for employee to alter between sitting and standing is prevalent accommodation in workplace
• affirming the denial of benefits when the VE “opined that specific jobs existed that [the claimant] could perform and that would accommodate [his] need to alternate between sitting and standing”
• expert’s opinion that jobs permitted a sit/stand option did not suggest that employers would make an ADA accommodation, only that a sit/stand was prevalent in such jobs
• “Moreover, the expert’s reference to the ADA suggests not that he assumed that assembler jobs required accommodation, but that allowing for an employee to alter between sitting and standing is a prevalent accommodation in the workplace.”
