Canterbury v. Astrue
Canterbury v. Astrue
Opinion
Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Esau Canterbury, on behalf of his son, Roman Canterbury, appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant the Commissioner’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and terminate his child’s social security supplemental income benefits.
We must uphold the district court’s disability determination if it is supported by substantial evidence. 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2009); Hays v. Sullivan, 907 F.2d 1453, 1456 (4th Cir. 1990). We have reviewed the record in light of Canterbury’s arguments on appeal and find substantial evidence supports the Commissioner’s finding that the child’s medical condition had improved such that disability benefits should cease. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1594 (2009). Accordingly, we affirm the termination of benefits. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED.
