LISA COLE PLAINTIFF v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security DEFENDANT
FINAL JUDGMENT
This cause is before the court on the plaintiff's complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) for judicial review of an unfavorable final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration regarding her applications for a period of disability, disability insurance benefits, and supplemental security income. The parties have consented to entry of final judgment by the United States Magistrate Judge under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), with any appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The court, having reviewed the record, the administrative transcript, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law and having heard oral argument, finds as follows, to-wit:
For the reasons announced by the court on the record at the conclusion of the parties' oral argument this day, the court finds that the Commissioner's decision applied the correct legal standards and is supported by substantial evidence in the record. Therefore, the decision of the Commissioner is hereby AFFIRMED.
