CRYSTAL LEE,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
KENNETH S. APFEL, Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 1:96-CV-280-RR
April 5, 1999
Before POLITZ, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Crytal Lee appeals the district court’s judgment affirming the
Commissioner’s denial of her request for Supplemental Social
Security Income and Disability Insurance Benefits on behalf of her
minor daughter. We review the Commissioner’s decision to determine
whether the Commissioner applied the proper legal standards and
whether the Commissioner’s decision is supported by substantial
evidence on the record as a whole. E.g., Villa v. Sullivan, 895
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
- 1 -
F.2d 1019, 1021-22 (5th Cir. 1990).
We lack jurisdiction to address Lee’s contention that the ALJ
failed to develop the record by ordering consultative orthopedic
and psychological examinations, because Lee did not raise this
issue at the administrative level. See Paul v. Shalala, 29 F.3d
208, 210 (5th Cir. 1994).
In addition, Lee contends that the Commissioner’s decision is
not supported by substantial evidence and that the ALJ applied an
incorrect legal standard and should have considered whether the
daughter’s condition improved after the 8 January 1993 most recent
favorable decision. Pursuant to our review of the record and the
briefs, we conclude that there is no reversible error, essentially
for the reasons adopted by the district court. See Lee v.
Callahan, No. 1:96-CV-280-RR (S.D. Miss. Sept. 30, 1997).
AFFIRMED
