PER CURIAM.

Stephen A. Marino appeals following the district court’s1

 order affirming the

denial of disability insurance benefits (DIB) and supplemental security income (SSI)

for the period from February 1999 to August 2004 (arising from a 1999 application);

and reversing and remanding for further consideration of his 2005 SSI application.

-2-

To the extent Marino has properly raised any issues for review concerning his

entitlement to DIB and SSI from February 1999 to August 2004, see Meyers v. Starke,

420 F.3d 738, 743 (8th Cir. 2005) (failure to present issues with some specificity can

result in waiver), we agree with the district court that the ALJ’s opinion is supported

by substantial evidence on the record as a whole, see McNamara v. Astrue, 590 F.3d

607, 610 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review). We decline to consider appellee’s

challenge to the district court’s determination that reversal was warranted for further

consideration of Marino’s 2005 SSI application, because appellee did not file a crossappeal. See Smith v. Sullivan, 982 F.2d 308, 314 (8th Cir. 1992) (where appellee fails

to file cross-appeal, he is prohibited from attempting to enlarge his rights or lessen his

adversary’s rights). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
