¶1MEMORANDUM

¶2George Kelada appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment affirming the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration’s (“Commissioner”) denial of Kelada’s application for Title II Social Security disability insurance benefits. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s decision, and we review for substantial evidence and legal error the Administrative Law Judge’s (ALJ) decision. Tackett v. Apfel, 180 F.3d 1094, 1097 (9th Cir.1999). We affirm.

¶3The ALJ’s findings were supported by substantial evidence. See id.To the extent that the ALJ rejected or ascribed less weight to the opinions of certain physicians, her reasoning was specific and legitimate. See Magallanes v. Bowen, 881 F.2d 747, 750 (9th Cir.1989).

¶4Kelada’s remaining contentions lack merit.

¶5AFFIRMED.
