          Per Curiam.   After carefully considering the briefs
and record on appeal, we affirm the judgment for substantially
the reasons stated by the district court.  The Commissioner's
decision was supported by substantial evidence, even if some
evidence in the record might have supported a different
conclusion.  Irlanda Ortiz v. Secretary of Health and Human
Services, 955 F.2d 765, 769 (1st Cir. 1991); Rodriguez Pagan v.
Secretary of Health &amp; Human Services, 819 F.2d 1, 3 (1st Cir.
1987); cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1012 (1988). 
          Affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
