Per Curiam. After carefully considering the briefs and
record on appeal, we affirm for substantially the reasons stated by
the district court. Substantial evidence supported the ALJ’s
determination that the appellant’s pain and visual impairments
engendered no severe, nonexertional limitation. Heggarty v.
Sullivan, 947 F.2d 990 (1 Cir. 1991); Oritz v. Sec’y Health & st
Human Serv., 890 F.2d 520 (1 Cir. 1989). Although the medical st
record for the insured period documented pain and severe
impairment, it documented no severe, nonexertional limit.
Moreover, the ALJ could reasonably conclude that the appellant’s
activities were inconsistent with any such limitation. Substantial
evidence supported the decision. Rodriquez v. Sec’y Health & Human
Serv., 647 F.2d 218 (1 Cir. 1981). st
Affirmed. 1st Cir. R. 27(c).
