*Rivera v. Colvin (10th Cir., October 20, 2015)(affirming denial of social security benefits)

*Pham v. James (10th Cir., October 20, 2015)(affirming dismissal of Pham’s Title VII EEOC claims---workplace harassment based on disability and retaliation---for failure to exhaust his administrative remedies)

*Hays v. Colvin (10th Cir., October 22, 2015) (reversing and remanding denial of disability benefits for administrative failure to adequately address standing and walking restrictions)

*Cases marked with an asterisk are cases the 10th Circuit does not consider binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. They may be cited, however, for persuasive value under Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
