Unpublished Disposition, 848 F.2d 198 (9th Cir. 1985)
Annotate this CaseFranklin R. DAVIS, by George W. MONK, as Conservator of theperson and estate of Franklin Davis, Plaintiff-Appellant,v.Otis R. BOWEN, et. al., Defendant-Appellees.
No. 85-2839.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted June 12, 1987.* Decided May 20, 1988.
Before JAMES R. BROWNING, Chief Judge, and PREGERSON and ALARCON, Circuit Judges.
Appellant appeals the district court's order of February 1, 1985 dismissing all of his claims except his claim to review disability and SSI benefits, and denying his motion for transfer of venue.
The district court properly treated appellant's complaint as a petition for review under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). See Heckler v. Ringer, 466 U.S. 602, 617 (1984). The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion to transfer the case for appellant's convenience to participate in the hearing since no hearing was required to review the administrative record. Moreover, since review under 405(g) is based on the administrative record no discovery was necessary. Finally, contrary to appellant's assertion, W.C. v. Bowen, 807 F.2d 1502 (9th Cir.), amended, 819 F.2d 237 (1987), does not affect the present case.
We have reviewed the record and find appellant's remaining contentions to be without merit.
AFFIRMED.
