Head Matter:
James M. DELUCIA, Plaintiff, Appellant, v. Jo Anne B. BARNHART, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant, Appellee.
No. 05-1919.
United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.
March 17, 2006.
Michael J. Kelley on brief for appellant.
Michael J. Sullivan, United States Attorney and Anita Johnson, Assistant U.S. Attorney, on brief for appellee.
Before BOUDIN, Chief Judge, CAMPBELL and STAHL, Senior Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
After carefully considering the briefs and record on appeal, we affirm for substantially the reasons stated by the district court. Substantial evidence supported the ALJ's determination that the appellant's pain and visual impairments engendered no severe, nonexertional limitation. Heggarty v. Sullivan, 947 F.2d 990 (1st Cir. 1991); Oritz v. Sec'y Health & Human Serv., 890 F.2d 520 (1st Cir.1989). Although the medical record for the insured period documented pain and severe impairment, it documented no severe, nonexertional limit. Moreover, the ALJ could reasonably conclude that the appellant's activities were inconsistent with any such limitation. Substantial evidence supported the decision. Rodriguez v. Sec'y Health & Human Serv., 647 F.2d 218 (1st Cir.1981).
Affirmed. 1st Cir. R. 27(c).
