Per Curiam. We affirm the judgment for substantially the reasons stated by the district court. The appellant failed to support his claim of severe impairment with medical evidence concerning the insured period and the decision of the administrative law judge was supported by substantial evidence. See Vazquez Vargas v. Secretary of Health and Human Services,

(1st Cir. 1988)(per curiam). Affirmed. Loc. R. 27.1.
