AL STEVENSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
JO ANNE B. BARNHART, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. A-03-CV-392-RP
--------------------
Before GARZA, DeMOSS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Al Stevenson appeals the district court's judgment affirming
the determination of the Commissioner of Social Security that he
is not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act.
We find that the Administrative Law Judge correctly applied the
relevant legal standards in evaluating the medical evidence; in
determining Stevenson’s residual functional capacity; and in
assessing the credibility of Stevenson’s complaints of fatigue.
See Greenspan v. Shalala, 38 F.3d 232, 236 (5th Cir. 1994).

Moreover, the record provides substantial evidence supporting the
Commissioner’s conclusion that Stevenson is not disabled. See
id. Stevenson’s case does not present circumstances under which
the ALJ is required to make a separate finding that Stevenson is
able to maintain employment over a significant period of time.
See Watson v. Barnhart, 288 F.3d 212 (5th Cir. 2002); Dunbar v.
Barnhart, 330 F.3d 670, 672 (5th Cir. 2003).
AFFIRMED.
