PER CURIAM.

Shelby J. Norris appeals the district court’s2

 order affirming the denial of

disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. Having carefully

reviewed the record, see Medhaug v. Astrue, 578 F.3d 805, 813 (8th Cir. 2009)

(standard of review), we agree with the district court that the administrative law

judge’s (ALJ’s) findings concerning Norris’s mental residual functional capacity

(RFC) were supported by substantial evidence, see Moore v. Astrue, 572 F.3d 520,

523 (8th Cir. 2009) (in determining RFC, ALJ must consider all relevant evidence,

including medical records, observations of treating physicians and others, and

claimant’s own description of her limitations); see also Wagner v. Astrue, 499 F.3d

843, 848 (8th Cir. 2007) (it is ALJ’s function to resolve conflicts among opinions of

various examining and treating physicians). Norris’s other arguments for reversal

merit no discussion. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
