Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Chief Judge:
Roosevelt Harper appeals the district court’s affirmance of the Secretary of Health and Human Service’s denial of his claim for Supplemental Security Income benefits. Harper filed his application for benefits in April of 1987, alleging total legal disability. After a hearing, an administrative law judge (ALJ) denied the claim. The Secretary, acting through the Appeals Council, affirmed. The district court then affirmed, adopting the recommendations of a United States Magistrate. Because the findings of the Secretary are supported by substantial evidence, we affirm.
