Heading: Waiver of Excess Pain and Treating Physicial Claims

Text: 6 The government argues that Delgado waived his claim that the Secretary improperly discredited his subjective complaints, because he did not raise it before the magistrate judge granted summary judgment to the Secretary. However, the ALJ and the magistrate judge reviewed Delgado's subjective complaints in the context of assessing the vocational evaluation report prepared by Aba Pacifica in January 1991. Our consideration of this issue necessarily entails a review of the ALJ's decision not to credit Delgado's subjective complaints. See infra section C. 7 We hold, however, that Delgado waived his claim that the Secretary inappropriately disregarded his treating physicians' reports because he failed to raise it before the district court. See Matney ex rel. Matney v. Sullivan, 981 F.2d 1016, 1019 (9th Cir.1992).
