PER CURIAM: Cipriano Yanez (“Yanez”) filed a claim under the Social Security Act for Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”). An Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) denied Yanez’s claim and the Appeals Council affirmed the decision of the ALJ. Treating the decision of the Appeals Council as the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, Yanez filed suit in the district court for the Southern District of Texas seeking judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision. Yanez and the Commissioner filed cross motions for
summary judgment, and the matter was referred to a Magistrate Judge for report and recommendation. The Magistrate Judge recommended that Yanez’s motion for
summary judgment be denied, and the Commissioner’s motion for
summary judgment be granted. The district court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation and entered final judgment dismissing Yanez’s action. Yanez appeals to this Court. Our review is limited to determining (1) whether there is substantial evidence in the record as a whole to support the Commissioner’s decision, and (2) whether the Commissioner’s decision comports with relevant legal standards. Jones v. Apfel, 174 F.3d 692, 693 (5th Cir.1999). We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts, and relevant portions of the record itself.
For the reasons stated in the Magistrate Judge’s Memorandum and Recommendation, as adopted by the district court, we affirm the decision of the district court to enter final judgment against Yanez. AFFIRMED. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
