Becky Dillon v. Kenneth Apfel

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 98-3672 ___________ Becky Dillon, * * Plaintiff - Appellant, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the Eastern v. * District of Arkansas * Kenneth S. Apfel, * [UNPUBLISHED] Commissioner of Social Security, * * Defendant - Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: April 23, 1999 Filed: May 5, 1999 ___________ Before McMILLIAN and MURPHY, Circuit Judges, and MONTGOMERY,1 District Judge. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Becky Dillon filed applications for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. She claims she is unable to work due to mental retardation, chronic depression, and a personality disorder. Her claims were denied by an administrative law judge (ALJ), and the Social Security Appeals Council declined to review the ALJ’s decision. Dillon then filed this action, and the district court2 granted the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment. Dillon appealed from the judgment, arguing that the district court erred in concluding that the ALJ’s decision is supported by substantial evidence. Based on our review of the record, we agree with the conclusion that there is substantial evidence to support the administrative decision and affirm on the basis of the district court’s opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
