Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Carol L. Moon ("Moon") filed a claim under the Social Security Act for Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"). The Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") denied Moon's claim and the Appeals Council affirmed the decision of the ALJ. Treating the decision of the Appeals Council as the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, Moon filed suit in the district court for the Northern District of Texas seeking judicial review of the Commissioner's decision. The case was referred to a Magistrate Judge for Report and Recommendation, and the Magistrate Judge recommended that Moon's petition for review be denied. Moon filed objections to the Magistrate's Report and the district court, after review of Moon's objections, adopted the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and entered final judgment denying any relief to Moon. Moon appeals to this Court.
Our review is limited to determining (1) whether there is substantial evidence in the record as a whole to support the Commissioner's decision, and (2) whether the Commissioner's decision comports with relevant legal standards. Jones v. Apfel, 174 F.3d 692, 693 (5th Cir.1999). We have carefully reviewed the briefs, record excerpts, and relevant portions of the record itself. For the reasons stated in the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, as adopted by the district court, we affirm the decision of the district court to enter final judgment against Moon.
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
