MEMORANDUM ^****

**** This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Asiyeh De Carteret appeals the district court's summary judgment affirming the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration's denial of her son's application for Supplemental Security Income disability benefits. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court's decision, and we review for substantial evidence and legal error the Administrative Law Judge's ("ALJ") decision. Tackett v. Apfel, 180 F.3d 1094, 1097 (9th Cir.1999). We affirm.

We conclude that the district court did not err because substantial evidence supports the ALJ's finding that De Carteret is not disabled under 42 U.S. C.§ 1382c(a)(3). See Tackett, 180 F.3d at 1098.

De Carteret's remaining contentions lack merit.

AFFIRMED.
