R. 47.5.4. United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED December 21, 2004 Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 04-10510 Summary Calendar GLENDA KAY HUNTER, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus JO ANNE B. BARNHART, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, DefendantAppellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 4:03-CV-391-A Before WIENER, BENAVIDES AND STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * Glenda Kay Hunter appeals from the district courtÂ’s judgment affirming the Commissioner of Social SecurityÂ’s denial of disabilit y benefits. She argues that the Administ rat ive Law JudgeÂ’s (ALJ) decision was not supported by subst a ntial evidence because the ALJ failed to give due consideration to the retrospective opinions of her physicians, failed to consider the non -exerti onal impairments she alleged, and failed to solicit the opinion of a medical expert regarding the date that her medical impairments became disabling. After reviewing the briefs and the record, we conclude that the ALJ applied the correct legal standard and that the decision was supported b y substanti al evidence. S ee Harris v. Apfel , 209 F.3d 413, 417 (5th Cir. 2000); Griego v. Sullivan , 940 F.2d 942, 945 (5th Cir. 1991); Carrier v. Sullivan , 944 F.2d 243, 247 (5th Cir. 1991); Spellman v. Shalala , 1 F.3d 357, 361-64 (5th Cir. 1993).

Hunter asserts that the ALJ erred by failing to include a porti on of the medical records in the administrative record. However, the absence of the medical records does not affect HunterÂ’s substantial rights. See Anderson v. Sullivan , 887 F.2d 630, 634 (5th Cir. 1989).

AFFIRMED.
