Sharon N. RAGLAND, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Donna E. SHALALA, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Defendant-Appellee

HOLLOWAY, Senior Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff Sharon N. Ragland appeals from a district court order that affirmed the Secretary of Health and Human Services’ decision to deny her application for supplemental security income benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act. 1 It is our responsibility, in assessing the factual and legal bases for the Secretary’s challenged decision, to review the record “to determine whether the findings are supported by substantial evidence and whether the Secretary applied correct legal standards.” Pacheco v. Sullivan, 931 F.2d 695, 696 (10th Cir.1991).
