1Opinion of the Court

BREYER, Circuit Judge.

Maria Rodriguez, the appellant, brought this action to obtain judicial review of a final decision by the Secretary of Health and Human Services that she did not qualify for widow’s disability benefits under the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 402(e) (1970). She attacks the Secretary’s determination that her asthma, arthritis and mental condition were not disabling, claiming that this determination is not supported by substantial evidence. The district court granted judgment in favor of the Secretary and dismissed the complaint. We affirm the district court’s decision.
