Head Matter:
William W. PENIX, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Elliot L. RICHARDSON, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 72-1901.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Oct. 10, 1972.
Arthur L. Johnson, of Johnson & Johnson, San Jose, Cal., for plaintiff-appellant.
James L. Browning, Jr., U. S. Atty., Brian B. Denton, Asst. U. S. Atty., San Francisco, Cal., for defendant-appellee.
Before MERRILL, CHOY and WALLACE, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
This action was brought by appellant in the District Court for the Northern District of California, seeking judicial review of a determination by the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare that appellant was not eligible for disability payments under 42 U.S.C. § 416 (i) and 423. That determination was upheld by the District Court.
There is substantial evidence- in the record to support the findings of the Secretary. This being the only question open to us on review (42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and Harmon v. Finch, 460 F.2d 1229 (9th Cir. 1972)), we affirm the decision of the District Court.
Affirmed.
