1Opinion of the Court
STAGG, District Judge:
This action was brought under § 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), to obtain judicial review of a final decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services awarding Lisa Fleshman supplemental security income (hereinafter “SSI”) benefits but at a reduced level. The district court reversed the Secretary’s decision. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the district court failed to apply the correct standard of review to the Secretary’s decision and, therefore, REVERSE the district court.
