Martinez argues that the Commissioner’s decision to deny him
benefits is not supported by substantial evidence and was based
on an incorrect legal standard. These arguments are unavailing.
See Newton v. Apfel, 209 F.3d 448, 452 (5th Cir. 2000); Brown v.
Apfel, 192 F.3d 492, 498 (5th Cir. 1999). The judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED.
