  • holding that nurse practitioners are “other sources” rather than 8 acceptable medical sources, and an ALJ need only provide germane reasons to 9 discount their opinions

  • finding that inconsistencies 13 with activities is a germane reason for rejecting a statement
  • finding that an ALJ need not 4 include limitations caused by claimant’s migraines, because the only evidence in the record that 5 established such limitations was plaintiff’s self-report, and her doctor’s record of her self-report, 6 which the ALJ properly discounted
