   MEMORANDUM

Christina Winekler appeals the District Court’s order affirming the Social Security Administration Commissioner’s decision denying her application for supplemental social security income under Title XVI of the Social Security Act.

The District Court committed no error in affirming the Commissioner’s decision. The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) properly considered the medical evidence in the record and cited specific and legitimate reasons for rejecting the opinions of two of Winekler’s treating physicians. See Andrews v. Shalala, 53 F.3d 1035, 1041 (9th Cir.1995). Likewise, the ALJ properly rejected the medical opinion of the nurse practitioner, as she was not an acceptable medical source. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1513(a), (d)(1); cf. Gomez v. Chater, 74 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.1996). The ALJ also cited specific and legitimate reasons for rejecting the credibility of Winekler and that of a lay witness testifying on Winckler’s behalf. See Dodrill v. Shalala, 12 F.3d 915, 918 (9th Cir.1993); Lewis v. Apfel, 236 F.3d 503, 511 (9th Cir.2001). Furthermore, Winekler did not meet her burden to show that her impairments, either alone or in combination, met or equaled a listed impairment. See Sullivan v. Zebley, 493 U.S. 521, 530, 110 S.Ct. 885, 891, 107 L.Ed.2d 967 (1990). Finally, the ALJ properly relied on the opinion of the vocational expert, as that opinion described the ability to work of a hypothetical person with plaintiffs relevant limitations, as set forth in the non-discredited medical opinions. Cf. Embrey v. Bowen, 849 F.2d 418, 422-23 (9th Cir.1988).

AFFIRMED.
