Before SMITH, BENAVIDES and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Leonardo U. Almaraz appeals from the district court's
judgment in a review of the denial of a claim for disability
insurance benefits and supplemental security income benefits.
She argues that the Commissioner's decision is not supported by
substantial evidence. Succinctly, she challenges the

Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined

deficiencies in the hypotheticals, the ALJ's failure to order a
consultative examination to develop her complaints of depression
and suicidal thoughts, the credit afforded the reports of
orthopedic surgeons over the report of her treating chiropractor,
and the ALJ's failure to order a consultative examination to

error. See Almaraz v. Chater, No. SA-95-CA-289 (W.D. Tex. Nov.
21, 1995).
AFFIRMED.
