The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Social Security Act. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review the district court’s judgment de novo. Ford v. Saul, 950 F.3d 1141, 1153-54 (9th Cir. 2020). We affirm.

Ortega’s testimony regarding the amounts of sitting, standing, and walking required in her past relevant work as a delivery driver provided substantial evidence in support of the administrative law judge’s (“ALJ”) finding that the work was sedentary as actually performed. See 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1567(a), 416.967(a) (defining sedentary work). See also Coleman v. Saul, 979 F.3d 751, 755 (9th Cir. 2020) (defining substantial evidence). Accordingly, substantial evidence supports the ALJ’s finding, at Step Four of the sequential analysis, that Ortega could perform her past relevant work as actually performed, and she therefore was not disabled. See 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1520(a)(4)(iv), 416.920(a)(4)(iv). See also Ford, 950 F.3d at 1149.

AFFIRMED.
