Plaintiff did not offer new evidence in support of his motion 

to remand. Rather, he asserted that the administrative law judge 

did not properly evaluate the evidence he had presented, and 

should have referred him for an examination by a psychologist even 

though he had previously refused to get psychological counseling. 

Plaintiff asserts that his impainnent of his right ann and

abuse, and his mental problems justify the remand. The district 

court has analyzed the evidence and the propositions of law 

involved in plaintiff's argument in some detail. We AFFIRM for 

substantially the reasons stated in the district court's 

memorandum opinion and order entered February 26, 1991. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
