DOROTHY N. GRAYSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant
versus
JO ANNE BARNHART,
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant-Appellee
---------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
(4:04-CV-176)
---------------------
Before SMITH, WIENER and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff-Appellant Dorothy N. Grayson (“Claimant”) appeals
the ruling of the district court, grounded in its adoption of the
Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, upholding the
ruling of the Administrative Law Judge who denied Claimant’s
application for disability and disability insurance benefits and
for Supplemental Security Income under the Social Security Act. We
have reviewed the outstanding briefs of counsel for Claimant and
for the Commissioner, as well as the record on appeal, including
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
the cogent and exhaustive Report and Recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge that lies at the core of the district court’s
denial of Claimant’s motion for summary judgment and grant of the
Commissioner’s. Even though, as noted by the Magistrate Judge,
this case is a close one, in the end we are convinced that the
Administrative Law Judge, the Magistrate Judge, and the district
court committed no error that supports reversal, in whole or in
part, on appeal. For the reasons thoroughly explicated by the
Magistrate Judge and adopted by the district court, the rulings
appealed from are, in all respects,
AFFIRMED.
