February 26, 1998
Before DUHÉ, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
Maria E. Villarreal argues that the district court erred in
granting the defendant’s motion for summary judgment and affirming
the decision of the Commissioner denying disability benefits and
supplemental social security income. She avers that the
Commissioner’s decision is not supported by substantial evidence
and relevant legal standards. Villarreal also avers that the case
1
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir.
R. 47.5.4.
should be remanded for the consideration of newly discovered
evidence. We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the
parties and affirm for essentially the reasons adopted by the
district court. Villarreal v. Apfel, No. L-95-CV-100 (S.D. Tex.
Jan. 30, 1997). We also find that Villarreal has failed to show
good cause for her failure to present the subject evidence during
her administrative hearing. Geyen v. Secretary of Health and Human
Services, 850 F.2d 263, 264 (5th Cir. 1988).
AFFIRMED.
