No. 97-40904 Summary Calendar BRENDA S. SHELTON, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus KENNETH S. APFEL, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (6:95-CV-1005) July 9, 1998 Before JONES, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * Brenda S. Shelton appeals from the distric t courtÂ’s decision in favor of the Commissioner which denied disability benefits. Shelton argues that the CommissionerÂ’s decision is not supported by substantial evidence and that the Commissioner failed to consider the opinion of her treating physician and erred by not requiring the testimony of a vocational expert. We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties and find no error in the district courtÂ’s determination.

AFFIRMED.
