Plaintiff-Appellant,

Defendant-Appellee. _________________________________________________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. C-97-CV-302 _________________________________________________________________

November 26, 1999

Before JOLLY, JONES, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Ruben Cancino appeals from the district court’s judgment

affirming the denial of his applications for disability insurance

benefits and supplemental security income. He argues that the

administrative law judge (the “ALJ”) failed to give proper

consideration to his complaints of pain and the treating

physician’s reports, that the ALJ’s hypothetical to the vocational

expert disregarded the medical evidence, and that substantial

evidence does not support the ALJ’s finding that he experienced

improvement in his medical condition after April 19, 1993. A

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. review of the record shows that the ALJ’s decision that Cancino was

not disabled is supported by substantial evidence on the record as

a whole. See Anthony v. Sullivan,

(5th Cir.

1992). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is

A F F I R M E D.
