The following excerpt is from Beale v. Colvin, No. 2:12-cv-3055-EFB (E.D. Cal. 2014):
Medical Expert's testimony because he had reviewed the entire record, and his opinion was consistent with the objective findings in plaintiff's medical chart. See Thomas v. Barnhart, 278 F.3d 948, 957 (9th Cir. 2002) ("The opinions of non-treating or non-examining physicians may [ ] serve as substantial evidence when the opinions are consistent with independent clinical findings or other evidence in the record.").
