PER CURIAM:*

     Dorothy Reed appeals the district court’s judgment affirming

failed to consider Reed’s exertional and nonexertional

impairments.    We have carefully considered the record and the

arguments of the parties.    Essentially for the reasons adopted by

the district court, Reed v. Chater, No. 3:95-cv-720WS (S.D. Miss.
