1Opinion of the Court

KOZINSKI, Circuit Judge:

Dodrill appeals from a denial of disability insurance benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act. The administrative law judge upheld the Secretary of Health and Human Services’ finding that Dodrill was not disabled; a timely request for review was declined by the Appeals Council. Dodrill appealed this final administrative ruling to the district court pursuant to -42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and we review that court’s grant of summary judgment to the Secretary. •

Claims of disability are evaluated under the five-step procedure of 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.-1520 et seq., 416.920…
