MEMORANDUM **

Betty Noujaim appeals a magistrate *709 judge’s 1 order and judgment affirming an administrative law judge’s (ALJ) grant of summary judgment to the Commissioner after he determined that Noujaim was not disabled. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.

The magistrate judge acted properly when he denied Noujaim’s motion to admit additional evidence. There is no reasonable possibility that the evidence she sought to introduce would have changed the outcome of the determination had it been before the Commissioner.

Substantial evidence in the adequately developed record supported the ALJ’s decision regarding the conflicting medical evidence. 3 Substantial evidence in the record and specific findings by the ALJ also supported the adverse credibility determination and rejection of Noujaim’s subjective pain claims. 4 Furthermore, the ALJ did not commit legal error in determining the denial of benefits.

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

. The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge.

. See Booz v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 734 F.2d…
