    Submitted Dec. 17, 2001.
    
    Decided Jan. 2, 2002.
    Before SCHROEDER, Chief Judge, TROTT and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       Jo Anne B. Barnhart is substituted for Kenneth S. Apfel, as Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, pursuant to Fed. R.App. P. 43(c)(2).
    
    
      
       Because the panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument, Carter’s request for oral argument is denied. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Mario Carter appeals the district court’s summary judgment affirming the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration’s denial of Carter’s application for Title II Social Security disability insurance benefits and Title XVI Supplemental Security Income 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.

The ALJ’s findings were supported by substantial evidence. See id. To the extent that the ALJ resolved ambiguous or conflicting medical evidence, his reasoning was specific and legitimate. See Andrews v. Shalala, 53 F.3d 1035, 1040 (9th Cir. 1995). .

We decline to address issues raised for the first time in Carter’s reply brief. See Eberle v. City of Anaheim, 901 F.2d 814, 818 (9th Cir.1990).

AFFIRMED.
