IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 99-10224 Summary Calendar

FLORA ADAMS, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus KENNETH S. APFEL, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant-Appellee.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:97-CV-2714-T - - - - - - - - - - November 30, 1999 Before SMITH, BARKSDLE, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Flora Adams appeals the district court’s decision affirming the determination by the Commissioner of Social Security that Adams is not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act. Adams argues that the determination of the administrative law judge (ALJ) that her depression was not severe is not supported by substantial evidence because he failed to consider the opinions of the treating physicians and the state medical consultant. She also argues that the ALJ’s determination that she has the residual functional capacity to perform a full range * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

No. 99-10224 -2- of sedentary work is not supported by substantial evidence in view of her bilateral manipulative limitations. We have reviewed the record and Adams’ brief and AFFIRM the district court’s decision for essentially the same reasons adopted by the district court. Adams v. Apfel, No. 3:97-CV-2714-T (N.D. Tex. December 16, 1998).

Adams also argues for the first time on appeal that the ALJ erred in finding that her depression was not severe and that the ALJ’s determination that she can perform a full range of sedentary work is not supported by substantial evidence in view of her inability to tolerate environmental pollutants such as dust, fumes, and smoke. Because Adams did not raise these issues in the district court, we will not consider them for the first time on appeal. See Chaparro v. Bowen, 815 F.2d 1008, 1011 (5th Cir. 1987); James v. Bowen, 793 F.2d 702, 704 (5th Cir. 1986).

AFFIRMED.
