Summary Calendar Clerk
CLARICE STEWART
Plaintiff - Appellant
v.
MICHAEL J ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security
Defendant - Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
1:06-CV-733
Before STEWART, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The Commissioner of Social Security denied Clarice Stewart’s claim for
disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits. A United States
Magistrate Judge submitted a lengthy report summarizing the record and
responding to the legal issues raised, with a recommendation that the district
court affirm the decision of the Commissioner. The district court accepted the
recommendation and affirmed.
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 07-51175
On appeal, Stewart alleges that the proper legal standard was not applied
and there is not substantial evidence to support the denial of benefits. We find
no merit to these appellate arguments. For the reasons stated in the Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation, the Commissioner’s decision is supported
by substantial evidence and comports with relevant legal standards.
We AFFIRM.
