The following excerpt is from Hamilton v. Chater, 106 F.3d 407 (9th Cir. 1997):
We review a district court's order upholding the Commissioner's denial of benefits de novo. Smolen v. Chater, 80 F.3d 1273, 1279 (9th Cir.1996). The scope of our review, however, is limited: we must affirm the Commissioner's decision if substantial evidence supports that decision and the Commissioner applied the correct legal standards. Id. After a thorough examination of the record and the briefs, we affirm the decision of the district court.
