    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:

    John L. Alexander appeals from the district court's order granting summary
    judgment for defendant and affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health
    and Human Services that Alexander was not disabled within the meaning of the
    Social Security Act until September 28, 1987. Alexander argues that the
    Secretary's decision was not supported by substantial evidence in accordance
    with 42 U.S.C. 405(g). We have reviewed the record and heard oral argument
    and are convinced that the Secretary properly evaluated Alexander's claim and
    that the Secretary's determination was supported by substantial evidence. We
    therefore affirm the district court's judgment.

    AFFIRMED.
