Summary Calendar
MICHAEL S. REID,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
JO ANNE B. BARNHART, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 1:03-CV-2254
--------------------
Before DeMOSS, STEWART, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael S. Reid (“Reid”) filed a claim under the Social
Security Act for Disability Insurance Benefits (“DIB”) and for
Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”). The Administrative Law
Judge (“ALJ”) denied Reid’s claim and the Appeals Council
affirmed the decision of the ALJ. Treating the decision of the
Appeals Council as the final decision of the Commissioner of
Social Security, Reid filed suit in the district court for the
Western District of Louisiana seeking judicial review of the
Commissioner’s decision. The case was referred to the Magistrate

-2-
Judge for report and recommendation, and the Magistrate Judge
recommended that Reid’s petition for review be denied. Reid
filed objections to the Magistrate’s Report and the district
court, after review of Reid’s objections, adopted the Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation and entered final judgment
denying any relief to Reid. Reid appeals to this Court.
We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts,
and relevant portions of the record itself. For the reasons
stated in the Magistrate Judge’s Report, as adopted by the
district court, we affirm the decision of the district court to
enter final judgment against Reid.
AFFIRMED.
