APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND

Before

Selya, Lynch and Lipez, Circuit Judges.

Jo-Ann Albanese on brief pro se. Margaret E. Curran, United States Attorney, Robin E. Feder, Assistant United States Attorney, and Wayne G. Lewis, Assistant Regional Counsel, on brief for appellee.

December 27, 2000 Per Curiam. After carefully considering the briefs

and record on appeal, we affirm the Commissioner’s decision

for substantially the reasons stated in the opinions below.

The claimant did not provide medical evidence

documenting that she had a disabling impairment prior to May

27, 1998.

. She may have suffered a

serious impairment, but that is not enough to establish

entitlement to disability benefits.
