Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Alice Guillory appeals the district court’s judgment for the
Commissioner in her action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for
review of the Administrative Law Judge’s (“ALJ”) decision denying
her request for Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental
Security Income. We review the Commissioner’s decision to
determine whether the decision is supported by substantial evidence
in the record and whether the Commissioner applied the proper legal

standards in evaluating the evidence. Villa v. Sullivan, 895 F.2d
1019, 1021 (5th Cir. 1990).
Guillory makes the following contentions: (1) the ALJ failed
to evaluate her impairments in the aggregate; (2) the Appeals
Council should have remanded the case in light of new and material
evidence; and (3) the magistrate judge improperly engaged in de
novo review of the new evidence when he found it “cumulative.” 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 Guillory v. Apfel, No. 97-1425 (W.D. La.
May 19, 1998).
AFFIRMED.
