1Per curiam
Ray Flener, who applied for Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”) in 1997 at the age of nine, appeals from the denial of his application for benefits. The administrative law judge (“ALJ”) determined that Ray had oppositional defiant disorder and an unnamed learning disability, but that these impairments neither constitute, nor functionally equal, a listed impairment. Ray argues that the ALJ’s decision is not supported by substantial evidence and that the ALJ erred by failing to use a medical expert to interpret the results of two psychological tests. We affirm.
