7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Donald Thorpe v. Frank Bisignano
24‑2214
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division. Judge Jon E. DeGuilio. Affirms the district court’s grant of summary judgment and denial of Thorpe’s request to alter that judgment. Thorpe sought Social Security disability benefits, arguing his physical and mental impairments rendered him unable to work. The administration law judge denied benefits, relying in part on vocational expert testimony that Thorpe could perform approximately 145,000 jobs in the national economy. The district court upheld the decision, holding that Thorpe forfeited any challenge to the VE testimony by failing to object during the hearing and finding the decision supported by substantial evidence. The Seventh Circuit agreed. Attorney for appellant: Robert Tarlock. Attorney for appellee: Megan Hugo, Meredith Deddish Schacht, Nathaniel Whalen.
