MEMORANDUM **
Plaintiff/Appellant Déla F. Haislip (“plaintiff’) appeals the district court’s judgment affirming the Social Security Commissioner’s denial of her claim for disability insurance benefits under 42 U.S.C. § 405 (g). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , Batson v. Commissioner, 359 F.3d 1190, 1193 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm.
We find that the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) supported her decision that plaintiffs testimony of her subjective symptoms relating to fibromyalgia and migraine headaches was not entirely credible with “specific, cogent reasons for the disbelief.” See Morgan v. Apfel, 169 F.3d 595, 599 (9th Cir.1999) (quoting Lester v. Chater, 81 F.3d 821, 834 (9th Cir.1995)). Specifically, the ALJ noted the lack of objective medical evidence to support plaintiffs claims, conflicts between claimant’s allegations and her physicians’s findings, and claimant’s testimony regarding her ability to engage in daily activities. The district court correctly held that the ALJ provided clear and convincing reasons for her adverse credibility determination. See Batson, 359 F.3d at 1196 .
