Heading: CA's Consideration of Matters Outside of the Record

Text: 26 Jelinek argues on appeal that the CA abused its discretion in considering materials outside of the administrative record in rendering its decision. Specifically, Jelinek alleges that the CA abused its discretion in consulting independent medical sources to clarify whether there was a correlation between Jelinek's physical ailments and her psychological problems. 27 Jelinek may not raise this claim on appeal because she failed to raise it below at the district court. See Singleton v. Wulff, 428 U.S. 106, 120-21 (1976) (holding that a federal appellate court should not consider an issue not passed on below unless injustice might otherwise result); United States v. Oregon, 769 F.2d 1410, 1414 (9th Cir.1985). 28
