Per Curiam. We have carefully reviewed the record and __________
claimant's brief and find none of claimant's arguments
meritorious. Vocational testimony was not required. The ALJ
gave valid reasons, based on a fair reading of the record,
for discounting claimant's subjective complaints and
concluding claimant retained the capacity to perform one of
his former types of jobs as a personal driver/chauffeur.
Affirmed. ________
