The following excerpt is from Esselstrom v. Chater, 67 F.3d 869 (9th Cir. 1995):
A district court's order upholding the Secretary's denial of benefits is reviewed de novo. Travers v. Shalala, 20 F.3d 993, 995-96 (9th Cir.1994). The decision of the Secretary must be affirmed if it is supported by substantial evidence. Matthews v. Shalala, 10 F.3d 678, 679 (9th Cir.1993). Substantial evidence, considering the entire record, is relevant evidence that a reasonable person might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. Id.
