Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Olga Villanueva appeals the district court’s judgment
affirming the denial of her application for disability insurance
benefits and supplemental security income. Villanueva contends
that the determination of the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”)

the correct standard in determining the severity of her
impairments, and determining that she had no residual impairments
from her hernia and varicose vein surgical procedures.
Based on our review of the record, the ALJ’s decisions

also shows that the ALJ fully developed the record and considered
all of the medical evidence submitted before his decision.
AFFIRMED.
