for the Western District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the

Honorable Beverly Stites Jones, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western

District of Arkansas.

Jo Ann Hoffmann appeals the district court’s2

 judgment upholding the final

decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services denying certain claims for

benefits under Part B of the Medicare program. Following careful review, we agree

with the district court that the Secretary’s decision is supported by substantial

evidence. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g); 42 U.S.C. § 1395ff(b)(1)(A). Accordingly, we

affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Hoffmann’s pending motions are denied.
