Waite appeals pro se the district court's sua sponte dismissal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) of her action challenging the Secretary of Health and Human Services' reduction of her Supplemental Security Income.

Ct. 1728, 1734 (1992), and we affirm the for the reasons stated in the district court's order denying Waite's motion for reconsideration.
