_______________________________________________________
Before REAVLEY, WIENER, BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The ALJ’s decisions was supported by substantial evidence, and the ALJ used the
proper legal standards to evaluate the evidence. See Brown v. Apfel, 192 F.3d 492, 496
(5th Cir. 1999). The objective medical evidence supports the ALJ’s determination that

Martinez is capable of performing light work. Further, Martinez’s condition does not
wax and wane to the extent that a separate capable-of-maintaining-employment finding
was necessary in this case. See Frank v. Barnhart, 326 F.3d 618 (5th Cir. 2003).
AFFIRMED.
