PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 16-1235 Page: 1 Date Filed: 09/23/2016 Entry ID: 4451262 
Christine Brown appeals the district court’s order affirming the denial of 1

supplemental security income and disability insurance benefits. We disagree with

Mrs. Brown that the administrative law judge (ALJ) did not adequately account for

her mental impairments in determining her residual functional capacity (RFC), see

Buford v. Colvin, 824 F.3d 793, 796 (8th Cir. 2016) (it is claimant’s burden to

establish RFC); and we conclude that substantial evidence on the record as a whole

supports the ALJ’s adverse decision, see Ash v. Colvin, 812 F.3d 686, 689-90 (8th

Cir. 2016) (substantial evidence is enough that reasonable minds would find it

adequate). The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
