            Per Curiam.   After carefully considering the briefs
  and record on appeal, we affirm the judgment for substantially
  the reasons stated by the district court.  The Commissioner's
  decision was supported by substantial evidence, even if some
  evidence in the record might have supported a different
  conclusion.  Irlanda Ortiz v. Secretary of Health and Human
  Services, 955 F.2d 765, 769 (1st Cir. 1991); Rodriguez Pagan v.
  Secretary of Health & Human Services, 819 F.2d 1, 3 (1st Cir.
  1987); cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1012 (1988). 
            Affirmed.  Loc. R. 27.1.
