Before DAVIS, DUHÉ, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
Bobby R. Mullins appeals the district court’s judgment for the
Commissioner in his action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for
review of the Administrative Law Judge’s (“ALJ”) decision denying
his request for Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental
Security Income. We review the Commissioner's decision to
determine whether the Commissioner applied the proper legal
standards and whether the decision is supported by substantial

evidence on the record as a whole. Anthony v. Sullivan, 954 F.2d
289, 292 (5th Cir. 1992).
Mullins makes the following contentions: (1) the district
court erred in requiring “specifications” in order to satisfy one
of the impairment listings in the Commissioner’s regulations; (2)
the Commissioner erroneously relied on the opinion of a “medical
advisor,” Dr. Dreher; (3) the Commissioner erred in weighing the
effect of Mullins’ pain medications and of his inability to afford
such medications; and (4) the Commissioner erred in accepting a
vocational expert’s findings that he, Mullins, could perform
several jobs that involved driving. We have reviewed the record
and the parties’ briefs, and we find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment entered by the district court.
See Mullins v. Callahan, No. 9:95-CV-27 (E.D. Tex. Feb. 25, 1998).
AFFIRMED.
