US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 322 F.2d 1021 (4th Cir. 1963) Argued October 2, 1963
Decided October 4, 1963

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Asheville; James Braxton Craven, Jr., Chief Judge.

Wade Hall, Ashville, N. C., on brief for appellant.

Edward Berlin, Atty., Dept. of Justice (John W. Douglas, Asst. Atty. Gen., William Medford, U. S. Atty., and Sherman L. Cohn, Atty., Dept. of Justice, on brief), for appellee.

Before HAYNSWORTH, BRYAN and J. SPENCER BELL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


The plaintiff sought to establish a period of disability and to obtain disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act.1  After an adverse administrative determination, he brought an action in the District Court which awarded summary judgment for the defendant.

Upon appeal, it appears clearly that there was substantial evidence in the record to support the Secretary's determination that on the critical date there was no disability within the contemplation of the Act.

Affirmed.
