Vanessa Thornhill, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Shirley S. Chater, Commissioner of Social Security,* * Defendant-appellee, 56 F.3d 69 (8th Cir. 1995)

Vanessa Thornhill appeals the district court's¹  order, granting summary judgment to the Secretary of Health and Human Services upon determining that the Secretary's decision to deny Thornhill's application for social security disability benefits was supported by substantial evidence. The district court concluded that the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) properly considered and rejected the severity of Thornhill's subjective complaints of pain, that the ALJ did not deprive Thornhill of an opportunity to be represented by counsel, and that Thornhill's newly submitted evidence of psychological impairment, submitted for the first time to the district court, was immaterial because it did not indicate a substantial impairment during the time period relevant to this case. We have considered the entire record and Thornhill's arguments on appeal, and we conclude that the district court committed no error in granting summary judgment to the Secretary. We affirm on the basis of the reasons set forth in the district court's order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
