    Belva J. VAUGHN, Appellant, v. Larry G. MASSANARI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Appellee.
    No. 00-2515.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted June 7, 2001.
    Decided June 15, 2001.
    Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and BYE, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      . Larry G. Massanari has been appointed to serve as Acting Commissioner of Social Security, and is substituted as appellee pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c)(2).
    
   PER CURIAM.

Belva Vaughn appeals the district court’s order affirming the Commissioner’s termination of Vaughn’s supplemental security income benefits, which had been awarded in part because of her alcoholism. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude substantial evidence supported the Commissioner’s decision to end the benefits. See 42 U.S.C. § 423(d)(2)(C) (individual shall not be considered disabled for purposes of this sub-chapter if alcoholism would be contributing factor material to Commissioner’s determination that individual is disabled); 20 C.F.R. § 416.935(b)(1) (2001) (“key factor” in determining whether alcoholism is material to determination of disability is whether claimant would still be found disabled if she stopped using alcohol); Pettit v. Apfel, 218 F.3d 901, 903 (8th Cir.2000) (claimant who is no longer using alcohol still has initial burden of showing that remaining impairments are disabling); Rehder v. Apfel, 205 F.3d 1056, 1059 (8th Cir.2000) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
