JO-ANN ALBANESE,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,
Defendant, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND
[Hon. Mary M. Lisi, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Selya, Lynch and Lipez,
Circuit Judges.
Jo-Ann Albanese on brief pro se.
Margaret E. Curran, United States Attorney, Robin E. Feder,
Assistant United States Attorney, and Wayne G. Lewis, Assistant
Regional Counsel, on brief for appellee.
December 27, 2000
Per Curiam. After carefully considering the briefs
and record on appeal, we affirm the Commissioner’s decision
for substantially the reasons stated in the opinions below.
The claimant did not provide medical evidence
documenting that she had a disabling impairment prior to May
27, 1998. 20 C.F.R. § 416.908. She may have suffered a
serious impairment, but that is not enough to establish
entitlement to disability benefits. 20 C.F.R. §§ 416.905,
416.912.
Affirmed. Loc. R. 27(c).
