PER CURIAM:* Leonardo U. Almaraz appeals from the district court's judgment in a review of the denial of a claim for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income benefits. She argues that the Commissioner's decision is not supported by substantial evidence. Succinctly, she challenges the hypotheticals posed to the vocational expert by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), a lack of opportunity to correct * Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. No. 95-50933 -2- deficiencies in the hypotheticals, the ALJ's failure to order a consultative examination to develop her complaints of depression and suicidal thoughts, the credit afforded the reports of orthopedic surgeons over the report of her treating chiropractor, and the ALJ's failure to order a consultative examination to pursue potential neurological problems. We have reviewed the record and the district court's decision and find no reversible error. See Almaraz v. Chater, No. SA-95-CA-289 (W.D. Tex. Nov. 21, 1995). AFFIRMED.
