June 16, 1998
Before JONES, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mark K. Hedrick appeals the district court’s judgment
affirming the decision of the Social Security Commissioner
denying disability benefits pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). He
challenges that Commissioner’s determination that Hedrick had the
residual functional capacity to perform a full range of sedentary
work of an unskilled or semi-skilled nature, subject to no
climbing, stooping, crawling, or kneeling. He specifically
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 97-41043

argues that he was denied due process because the record was not
complete, the Appeals Council erred in failing to reopen the
proceedings, the administrative law judge (ALJ) impermissibly
considered Hedrick’s apparent lack of discomfort during the
hearing in reaching its determination, the treating physicians’
opinions were not given their proper weight, his earnings
represented failed work attempts or constituted substantial
gainful activity, and the ALJ erred in offering an incomplete
hypothetical question to the vocational expert.
We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we AFFIRM for the
reasons stated by the magistrate judge and adopted by the
district court. See Hedrick v. Callahan, C-96-CV-583 (S.D. Tex.
July 24, 1997).
AFFIRMED.
