U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 02-3512

Civil Case - social security. Decision to deny social security benefits is
supported by the record. ALJ's determination that claimant could
perform full range of sedentary work is supported by substantial
evidence; ALJ properly discredited opinion of physicians. Claim of
depression was not raised before the ALJ. Determination of literacy, if
error, was harmless.

U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 02-3512

and experience.
