v.
Louis SULLIVAN, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 88-3933.

MEMORANDUM**

2

William Biser appeals a district court decision upholding an Administrative Law Judge's ("ALJ") determination that Biser was not disabled under the Social Security Act.

3

It is unnecessary to recite the facts of the case or review the contentions on appeal, as they are familiar to the parties. This court is satisfied, based on the record, that the findings of the ALJ and the Secretary of Health & Human Services set forth specific, legitimate reasons supported by substantial evidence in making the determination that Biser was not disabled and that he could engage in substantial, gainful activity. See Sprague v. Bowen, 812 F.2d 1226, 1230 (9th Cir.1987); Murray v. Heckler, 722 F.2d 499, 502 (9th Cir.1983).

4

The district court did not err in affirming the determination of the defendant, and the district court's decision is hereby AFFIRMED.

*

The panel finds this case appropriate for submission without argument pursuant to 9th Cir.R. 34-4 and Fed.R.App.P. 34(a)
