Shirley S. Chater, Commissioner of Social Security,* Appellee, 70 F.3d 1276 (8th Cir. 1995)
Annotate this CaseBefore WOLLMAN, MAGILL, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Richard Smith, on behalf of his minor daughter, Rachel Smith, appeals the district court's1 grant of summary judgment to the Commissioner in his action seeking review of the Commissioner's denial of child's supplemental security income benefits for Rachel. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude that no error of law appears, and that an opinion would lack precedential value. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
As of March 31, 1995, the Social Security Administration became an independent agency from the Department of Health and Human Services. Therefore, the court has substituted Shirley S. Chater for Donna E. Shalala pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 43(c)
The Honorable Jerry W. Cavaneau, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)
