WHITE v. BERRYHILL (2019)

MEMORANDUM **

Denise White appeals pro se the district court’s judgment affirming the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of White’s applications for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act. Reviewing de novo, we may set aside a denial of benefits only if it is not supported by substantial evidence, or if the administrative law judge (“ALJ”) applied the wrong legal standard. Molina v. Astrue, 674 F.3d 1104, 1110 (9th Cir. 2012). We affirm.

The ALJ’s findings concerning White’s back injury are supported by substantial evidence. See id. at 1111 (if the record contains evidence “susceptible to more than one rational interpretation, we must uphold the ALJ’s findings if they are supported by inferences reasonably drawn from the record”); Thomas v. Barnhart, 278 F.3d 947, 957 (9th Cir. 2002) (“The opinions of non-treating or non-examining physicians may also serve as substantial evidence when the opinions are consistent with independent clinical findings or other evidence in the record.”).

AFFIRMED.
