    Robert COLLINS, Plaintiff-Appellant,


    v.
    SECRETARY OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
    Defendant-Appellee
    No. 92-2286.

    United States Court of Appeals,


    Tenth Circuit.
    Aug. 26, 1993.
    1

    Before BALDOCK and KELLY, Circuit Judges, and CAUTHRON,** District


    Judge.

    ORDER AND JUDGMENT1


    2

    After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
    unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination
    of this appeal. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is
    therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

    Plaintiff Robert Collins appeals from an order of the district court affirming the
    Secretary's decision to award plaintiff Social Security benefits for a limited
    period of time only. Plaintiff claimed disability due to a back injury. He
    underwent back surgery and was held to be disabled for a period of almost
    three years. The Secretary determined that plaintiff had regained a residual
    functional capacity for sedentary work as of April9, 1989. Upon review of the
    complete administrative record, the parties' briefs on appeal, and the applicable
    law, we hold that substantial evidence supports the Secretary's determination
    and AFFIRM the judgment of the United States District Court for the District
    of New Mexico for substantially the reasons set forth in its memorandum
    opinion and order of December14, 1992.

    **
