Heading: Evidence of ability to perform substantial gainful activity:

Text: 18 Griego also contends that the record does not support the finding that she is able to perform her past relevant work as a telephone solicitor and receptionist. She believes that the ALJ merely concluded that the record lacked evidence that [she] could not perform sedentary work and that his reasoning thus improperly shifted the burden of proof to her. While we agree with Griego that the burden was on the Secretary, we find no misapplication in the ALJ's opinion. He affirmatively cited the medical evidence, the opinions of her physicians, Griego's daily activities, and the medications that she was then taking. 19 In a related argument, Griego contends that the ALJ relied only on the reports of non-examining doctors in concluding that she could perform her past relevant work. It is clear from his opinion, however, that he gave substantial weight to the reports of Dr. Herbertson. 20 The opinion of the district court is AFFIRMED.
