February 4, 1993 [NOT FOR PUBLICATION] UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT

No. 92-1414 CARMEN RODRIGUEZ-OQUENDO, Plaintiff, Appellant, v. SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Defendant, Appellee.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO [Hon. Jaime Pieras, Jr., U.S. District Judge]

Before Selya, Cyr and Boudin, Circuit Judges.

Raymond Rivera Esteves and Juan A. Hernandez Rivera on brief for appellant.

Daniel F. Lopez Romo, United States Attorney, Jose Vazquez Garcia, Assistant United States Attorney, and Amy S. Knopf, Assistant Regional Counsel, Department of Health and Human Services, on brief for appellee.

Per Curiam We have carefully reviewed the

record and find that substantial evidence supports the finding that the claimant retained the physical and mental capacity to perform the simple, routine, light, unskilled jobs as determined by the Secretary. We reject the claimant's attacks on the Secretary's assessment of the vocational expert's testimony, and conclude that the Secretary's decision to deny disability benefits is reasonably and adequately supported by the record as a whole.

We affirm the judgment of the district court substantially for the reasons stated in the magistrate-judge's report and recommendation as adopted by the district court.

Affirmed.
