R. 47.5.4. United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED December 30, 2003 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 03-30540 Summary Calendar NELDA CHESSEMAN,, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus JO ANNE B. BARNHART, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 01-CV-1887 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * Nelda Chesseman appeals the district courtÂ’s decision affirming the determination by the Commissioner of Social Security that she is not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act. Chesseman argues that the administrative law judgeÂ’s determination that she was not disabled is based on errors of law and is not supported by the evidence.

Having reviewed the record and briefs on appeal, we conclude that the administrative law judge applied the correct legal standard in determining whether Chesseman was disabled, and the administrative law judgeÂ’s decision is supported by substantial evidence. See Ripley v. Chater , 67 F.3d 552, 555 (5th Cir. 1995).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

No. 03-30540
