-- 1 of 2 --

2The Honorable Jimm Larry Hendren, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Western District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Beverly Stites Jones, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas.
-2-
Jo Ann Hoffmann appeals the district court’s 2 judgment upholding the final
decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services denying certain claims for
benefits under Part B of the Medicare program. Following careful review, we agree
with the district court that the Secretary’s decision is supported by substantial
evidence. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g); 42 U.S.C. § 1395ff(b)(1)(A). Accordingly, we
affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Hoffmann’s pending motions are denied.
