SECURITY, )

Defendant-Appellee.
BEFORE: GILMAN and COOK, Circuit Judges; and COHN, District Judge.*
AVERN COHN, District Judge. This is a social security case. Plaintiff-Appellant Debra
White sought judicial review under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) challenging the final decision of
defendant-appellee, the Commissioner of Social Security (Commissioner), that she was
no longer disabled and therefore not entitled to benefits. The district court affirmed the
Commissioner’s decision. White appeals, arguing that the administrative law judge erred
in discounting the opinions of White’s two treating physicians and accepting the opinion
of the state agency consultive examining doctor regarding White’s ability to work.
*
The Honorable Avern Cohn, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of
Michigan, sitting by designation.
After carefully reviewing the record, the applicable law, and the parties’ briefs, we
find that the district court did not err in affirming the Commissioner’s decision. As the
district court’s opinion carefully and correctly sets out the law governing the issues
raised, and clearly articulates the reasons underlying its decision, issuance of a full written
opinion by this Court would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, for the reasons stated
in the district court’s opinion, we AFFIRM.
