The following excerpt is from Soria v. Bowen, 842 F.2d 1294 (9th Cir. 1988):
This court will affirm the Secretary's determination with respect to a disability claim if the Secretary's decision both (1) rests on substantial evidence; and (2) applies the proper legal standard. See, e.g., Fanning v. Bowen, 827 F.2d 631, 633 (9th Cir.1987). We have reviewed the record and the decisions below. We are satisfied that substantial evidence supports the Secretary's decision, and that the proper legal standard was applied.
Accordingly, the decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.
