LEON JACKSON, JR.,
Appellant,
versus
JO ANNE B. BARNHART,
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal From the United States District Court
For the Northern District of Texas
Civil Docket No. 2:03-CV-191
--------------------
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The appellant, Leon Jackson, Jr., alleges that an
administrative decision by the Commissioner of Social Security
denying his application for disability benefits was not supported
by substantial evidence. Leggett v. Chater, 67 F.3d 558, 563-64
(5th Cir. 1995). In reviewing the Commissioner’s decision, we grant
it “great deference” and do not disturb it unless we “cannot find
substantial evidence in the record to support the Commissioner’s
decision or [find] that the Commissioner made an error of law.” Id.
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
No. 06-60232

Contrary to the petitioner’s assertions, the Administrative
Law Judge here relied on more than “impugning of the claimant’s
testimony” and “the claimant’s activities of daily living.” The
opinion below was supported by the medical examination of the
plaintiff by Drs. Plummer and Malay in 2001. Dr. Plummer’s report
supports the ALJ’s determination that the plaintiff is not
disabled, and Dr. Malay’s notes do not conflict with it. We find no
error in the ALJ’s decision to credit these reports rather than the
1991 examination by Dr. Cole, relied upon by the plaintiff. We
therefore AFFIRM.
