Before WIENER, PARKER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Edward Tyler, Jr., appeals from the affirmance of the

Commissioner's decision denying disability insurance benefits

under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).   Tyler argues that the Commissioner's

decision is not supported by substantial evidence.     We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find

that the Commissioner's decision is supported by substantial

evidence.


     *
        Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
            No. 95-20557
                 -2-

AFFIRMED.
