LAURENT SEGURA,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

JO ANNE B. BARNHART, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant-Appellee.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Louisiana

USDC No. 02-CV-1018

--------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Laurent Segura appeals the district court’s judgment affirming

the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of disability

benefits. He argues that his limited vision in his left eye

constitutes a non-exertional impairment that significantly affects

his residual functional capacity and as such the Administrative Law

Judge erred in relying exclusively upon the Guidelines. He also

argues that the ALJ relied on a hypothetical question posed to a

vocational expert which did not incorporate all of his

disabilities. 

Segura failed to raise the argument that his limited vision is

a non-exertional impairment that significantly affects his residual

functional capacity in the district court and it is waived. See

Chaparro v. Bowen, 815 F.2d 1008, 1011 (5th Cir. 1987). There is

no reversible error because the ALJ’s hypothetical question

incorporated the limitations that he recognized. See Bowling v.

Shalala, 36 F.3d 431, 436 (5th Cir. 1994).

AFFIRMED.
