Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana USDC No. 97-CV-3807-T _____________________________________
November 15, 1999
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Grace Clennon appeals from the district court’s decision granting summary judgment for the
Commissioner of Social Security in her action for judicial review o f the Commissioner’s denial of
supplemental security income (SSI) benefits to Clennon’s daughter Kalisha. Clennon argues that the
Commissioner’s decision was not supported by substantial evidence.
The record contains subst antial evidence supporting the Commissioner’s conclusion that
Kalisha’s impairments did not result in marked and severe functional limitations. See 42 U.S.C. §
1382c(a)(3)(C)(I). Because the Commissioner’s decision was supported by substantial evidence,
Anthony v. Sullivan,
954 F.2d 289, 292(5th Cir. 1992), the decision of the district court is affirmed.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. AFFIRMED.
