Lester Smith v. Wilbur J. Cohen, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided December 12, 1968 · Wisdom, Godbold, Hughes
404 F.2d 856 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Lester Smith v. Wilbur J. Cohen, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Appellant filed application for Social Security benefits under the provisions of 42 U.S.C.A. 416 (i). The only issue is whether the decision of the Secretary holding that the plaintiff failed to establish that he is under a disability as defined in the Act is supported by substantial evidence to support the administrative determination. On the administrative record the district court answered this question affirmatively and granted summary j'udgment for the Secretary. The record discloses this requisite substantial evidence. It follows that the j'udgment for the Secretary was properly entered and is accordingly affirmed. Celebrezze v. Kelly, 331 F.2d 981 (5th Cir. 1964); Clinch v. Celebrez-ze, 328 F.2d 778 (5th Cir. 1964), Cele-brezze v. O’Brient, 323 F.2d 989 (5th Cir. 1963); Bowen v. Gardner, 356 F.2d 484 (5th Cir. 1966).
