Cantrell v. Barnhart

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit October 21, 2003

Cantrell v. Barnhart, 78 F. App'x 367 (5th Cir. 2003)

Opinion

*368 PER CURIAM. *

Jimmie L. Cantrell appeals from the district court’s judgment affirming the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of disability benefits. She argues that the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) erroneously failed to accord great weight to the opinions of her treating psychiatrist and improperly relied on the opinion of the medical expert. We conclude that the ALJ applied the correct legal standard and the decision was supported by substantial evidence. See Newton v. Apfel, 209 F.3d 448, 455-56 (5th Cir. 2000); Greenspan v. Shalala, 38 F.3d 232, 237 (5th Cir. 1994).

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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
