Wright v. Apfel
Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 00-50412 Summary Calendar
DON WRIGHT,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
KENNETH S. APFEL, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant-Appellee.
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. A-99-CV-310-SS -------------------- January 8, 2001
Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Don Wright appeals the district court’s judgment affirming the
Social Security Commissioner’s decision to deny him disability
benefits. He argues that the ALJ erred in determining that his
post traumatic stress disorder was not a severe impairment and that
he retained the residual functional capacity to work.
Wright has not demonstrated any error in the Commissioner’s
decision. Substantial evidence supports the determination that
alcoholism was not a material contributing factor and that Wright
was not disabled. See Brown v. Apfel,
192 F.3d 492, 496(5th Cir.
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 00-50412 -2-
1999); Bowling v. Shalala,
36 F.3d 431, 434(5th Cir. 1994); Moore
v. Sullivan,
919 F.2d 901, 905(5th Cir. 1990). Accordingly, the
district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
