Ferraris v. Heckler

Giacomo Ferraris commenced this action in the Eastern District of New York pursuant to § 205(g) of the Social Security Act (Act) as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (Supp. V 1981), seeking review of a final decision by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) which denied Ferraris application for disability insurance benefits. The district court, Henry Bramwell, District Judge, after hearing argument on cross motions for judgment on the pleadings, rendered a decision in open court on June 17, 1983, granting the Secretarys motion, denying Ferraris motion, affirming the Secretarys decision and dismissing the complaint. From the judgment entered on the courts decision, Ferraris has taken this appeal. We reverse and remand.
