Appellate Case: 16-1719 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/11/2016 Entry ID: 4457078 
Having carefully reviewed the record before us and the parties’ submissions on

appeal, we conclude that substantial evidence on the record as a whole supports the

adverse decision. See Johnson v. Colvin, 788 F.3d 870, 872 (8th Cir. 2015)

(substantial evidence is that which reasonable mind would accept as adequate to

support Commissioner’s decision). The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
