• holding that, “where the [ALJ] was found to have selectively considered the evidence in denying benefits,” and the Commissioner “defend[ed] the [ALJ’s] denial of benefits,” the government’s position was “without substantial justification”
• reversing the district court’s judgment after finding the magistrate judge determined residual functional capacity by considering only evidence that “cast Howard in a capable light and excluded those portions which showed Howard in a less-than-capable light”
