FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT
No. 01-2544
PHYLLIS WILSON,
Appellant
v.
*LARRY G. MASSANARI, ACTING
COMMISSIONER OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY
ADMINISTRATION
*(Pursuant to F.R.A.P. 43(c))
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
(District Court No.00-CV-468)
District Court Judge: James McGirr Kelly
Submitted Under Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a)
January 17, 2002
Before: ALITO and ROTH, Circuit Judges, and SCHWARZER, Senior District Judge.
(Opinion Filed: January 31, 2002)
MEMORANDUM OPINION OF THE COURT
PER CURIAM:
The facts and procedural background of this case are familiar to the parties. The
Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1381-1385, authorizes Supplemental Security Income
("SSI") to be disbursed to individuals who qualify on the basis of their age or disability.
If the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration denies SSI to an individual,
that decision can be appealed to federal court.
We hold that the District Court properly granted Appellee’s motion for summary
judgment and properly denied Appellant’s cross-motion for summary judgment. In its

-- 1 of 2 --

Memorandum and Order, dated April 18, 2001, the District Court was correct to find that
the Commissioner’s denial was supported by substantial evidence. We have considered
all of Appellant’s arguments and find no ground to reverse.
The Order of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
