_____________ No. 96-1249WA _____________ Gary L. Avery, * * Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the Western * District of Arkansas.

Shirley S. Chater, * Commissioner, Social Security * [UNPUBLISHED] Administration, * * Appellee. * _____________ Submitted: November 7, 1996 Filed: November 27, 1996 _____________ Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. _____________

PER CURIAM.

Gary L. Avery appeals the district court's order affirming the Commissioner's decision to deny Avery's applications for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. After carefully reviewing the administrative record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the administrative law judge carefully applied the analysis under Polaski v. Heckler, 739 F.2d 1320, 1322 (8th Cir. 1984), submitted an appropriate hypothetical question to the vocational expert, and properly considered the combined effect of Avery's impairments. We find substantial evidence supports the decision of the Commissioner that Avery is not disabled for social security purposes. We affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
