Long Visitor also claims that the Commissioner did not meet the burden, at step five, of showing that she was not disabled. Accordingly, the ALJ was not required to proceed any further in the five-step analysis. The ALJ's decision that Long Visitor's impairment was not severe was supported by substantial evidence and he was thus not required to proceed beyond step two of the required analysis. To that effect, Long Visitor's argument that the ALJ erred at step five is moot. The decision of the ALJ is affirmed.
Judgment is entered accordingly.
Dated this day of July, 1998. If claimant is not engaged in substantial gainful activity, the next question is whether she is suffering from a severe impairment, defined as one that significantly limits the ability to perform basic work-related functions. If a severe impairment is not found, claimant must be found not disabled. If there is a severe impairment, and it is one listed in Appendix 1 to Subpart P, claimant is found disabled on the medical evidence alone. 20 CFR 404.1501 et seq.
