                          CHARLES L. CLEMENTS,

                                                 Plaintiff-Appellant,

                                 VERSUS


     SHIRLEY S. CHATER, Commissioner of the Social Security

              Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Western District of Louisiana
                               (92-CV-1688)
         ______________________________________________________

                        February 14, 1996
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Charles Clements appeals the district court's order granting

summary judgment to the Commissioner.      He maintains the district

court erred in affirming the Commissioner's decision to deny him

social security disability benefits.      After reviewing the record,

we are persuaded that the Administrative Law Judge was entitled to

conclude that Clements had failed to prove he was not substantially

gainfully employed.     We affirm.

     AFFIRMED




     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
