Sixth Circuit: Island Creek Coal Co. v. Elizabeth Maynard

 Sufficient evidence for the ALJ to have discounted the medical opinions as conclusory and disagreeing with the specific disability criterion rather than refuting it.

Materials filed with the Board cannot be incorporated by reference in an Article III appeal.  Sufficient evidence for the ALJ to find that the disability met the legal threshold, even absent proof that it met a clinical threshold.
