ALARCON, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff-appellant Janet J. Yuckert appeals from the judgment of the district court affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services to deny Social Security disability benefits to her on the ground that she did not have a “severe” impairment within the meaning of 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(c) (1987).
