No. 09-50494 Summary Calendar.
November 30, 2009.
Mary Ellen Felps, Austin, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
Kendall Morrison Rees, Social Security Administration Office of the General Counsel Region VI, Dallas, TX, Gary Layton Anderson, U.S. Attorney's Office, San Antonio, TX, for Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Docket Number 1:08-CV-220.
Before JOLLY, WIENER, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
Plaintiff-Appellant Brandy Briggs appeals from the judgment of the district court that affirmed the ruling of Defendant-Appellee Michael J. Astrue ("the Commissioner") denying benefits to Briggs. As the parties dispensed with oral argument, we decide this appeal on the basis of the briefs and record. Our review of the record on appeal, including the Report and Recommendations of the magistrate judge on which the district court relied extensively, and the law as applicable to the facts presented, satisfies us that the district court ruled correctly in disposing of this case. For essentially the reasons set forth by the magistrate judge, the judgment of the district court is, in all respects, AFFIRMED.
