FEDJE v. BARNHART (2003)

United States Court of Appeals,Eighth Circuit.

Teresa FEDJE, Appellant, v. Jo Anne B. BARNHART, Appellee.

No. 02-2322.

Decided: February 24, 2003

Before HANSEN, Chief Judge, RICHARD S. ARNOLD and BYE, Circuit Judges.

Ethel Schaen, argued, St. Paul, MN, for appellant. Mona Ahmed, argued, Social Security Administration, Chicago, IL (Depak Sathy, Chicago, IL, on the brief), for appellant.

After a hearing, an administrative law judge denied Teresa Fedje's application for disability insurance benefits, finding that the Commissioner of Social Security had met her burden to prove that Fedje could perform jobs that exist in significant numbers in the national economy. The Appeals Council denied further review, and the district court ¹ granted summary judgment to the Commissioner.

After carefully reviewing the record and the parties' briefs, we agree with the district court that substantial evidence supports the denial of benefits. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
