Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Kenneth L. Smith, Jr., appeals from the decision of the district court affirming an administrative law judge's decision denying him disability insurance benefits. 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.
. The Honorable Ronnie L. White, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
