OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
John L. Alexander appeals from the district court's order granting summary judgment for defendant and affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services that Alexander was not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act until September 28, 1987.   Alexander argues that the Secretary's decision was not supported by substantial evidence in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).   We have reviewed the record and heard oral argument and are convinced that the Secretary properly evaluated Alexander's claim and that the Secretary's determination was supported by substantial evidence.   We therefore affirm the district court's judgment.

2
AFFIRMED.
