Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 7:92-CV-00121
- - - - - - - - - -
January 29, 1996
Before WIENER, PARKER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
David Chase Boyd contests the denial of his applications for
Social Security disability benefits and supplemental security
income. We AFFIRM. Boyd's motion to file his reply brief in its
present form is DENIED.
Boyd presents two issues: (1) that the ALJ's hypothetical
questions to the vocational expert failed to incorporate all of
his limitations and Boyd's counsel did not have an adequate
opportunity to remedy the defective hypothetical, and (2) that
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 95-10521
-2-
the ALJ's decision was contrary to law because the ALJ committed
legal errors by a) failing to apply Singletary v. Bowen, 798 F.2d
818 (5th Cir. 1986), and consider whether Boyd's alcohol abuse
would prevent him from keeping employment; b) failing to follow
the Appeals Council's instructions on remand; c) failing to
consider Boyd's alcohol abuse under the guidance of Social
Security Ruling 82-60; and d) failing to complete "B" criteria of
new psychiatric review technique.
We do not consider the first issue because Boyd did not
raise it in the district court. Varnado v. Lynaugh, 920 F.2d
320, 321 (5th Cir. 1991); James v. Bowen, 793 F.2d 702, 704 (5th
Cir. 1986). Nor do we consider the second issue because Boyd
failed to raise it before the Appeals Council or in the district
court. Paul v. Shalala, 29 F.3d 208, 210 (5th Cir. 1994).
AFFIRMED.
