MEMORANDUM

3
Plaintiff-Appellant Candace Walker ("Walker") appeals the decision of the magistrate, granting Appellee's motion for summary judgment and affirming the decision of the ALJ.  The ALJ had denied disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income benefits based on disability under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act ("the Act").

I.

The Court finds that the magistrate did not err in finding that the ALJ had articulated specific and legitimate reasons for rejecting the opinion of a treating physician that Walker was disabled within the meaning of the Act.1  Magallanes v. Bowen, 881 F.2d 747, 751 (9th Cir.1989);  Cotton v. Bowen, 799 F.2d 1403, 1408 (9th Cir.1986).  The record reveals that the ALJ noted three specific grounds for rejecting Dr. Carr's conclusion that Walker is completely disabled.  First, Dr. Carr's conclusion was not supported by the other medical evidence in the record;  second, Dr. Carr inappropriately relied on inconclusive test results in reaching his conclusion;  and third, Dr. Carr's conclusion was contradicted by Walker's own testimony.  Each of these reasons is legitimate because each is supported by substantial, well-documented evidence in the record.  The ALJ therefore satisfied the requirements set forth by this Court in Magallanes for rejecting the conclusions of a treating physician.
