PER CURIAM:*
David Myers appeals from the dismissal of his complaint for
judicial review of the decision of the Commissioner of Social
Security denying him disability and supplemental security income

consultative examinations; and that the Commissioner erred by
failing to consider Dr. Roy L. Sasser a treating physician.
Regarding Myers’s contentions about Dr. Moldovan, we have
reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties and we find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for essentially the
reasons relied upon by the district court. Myers v. Chater, No.
96-CV-2760 (Oct. 24, 1997). Myers did not exhaust administrative
remedies regarding his contention about Dr. Sasser; we do not
consider Myers’s contention. Paul v. Shalala, 29 F.3d 208, 210
(5th Cir. 1994).
AFFIRMED.
