Opinion

_____________ No. 95-3076MN _____________ Glenwood Lee, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the District * of Minnesota.

Shirley S. Chater, Commissioner * of Social Security * [UNPUBLISHED] Administration, * * Appellee. * _____________ Submitted: August 7, 1996 Filed: September 5, 1996 _____________ Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MAGILL, Circuit Judges. _____________

PER CURIAM.

Glenwood Lee appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment affirming the Commissioner's decision to deny Lee's application for supplemental security income benefits. After careful review of the arguments raised on appeal and the administrative record, we conclude the administrative law judge properly assessed the opinions of Lee's treating physician, correctly applied the analysis under Polaski v. Heckler, 739 F.2d 1320, 1322 (8th Cir. 1984), adequately addressed Lee's functional limitations supported by substantial evidence, and submitted an appropriate hypothetical question to the vocational expert. We find the administrative law judge's decision is supported by the record as a whole and thus we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
