Before FAGG and HANSEN, Circuit Judges, and STROM,* District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

       William R. Howell appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment
affirming the Commissioner's decision to deny Howell supplemental security income
benefits. After careful review of the parties' briefs and the administrative record, we
conclude substantial evidence supports the decision of the Commissioner that Howell
is not disabled for Social Security purposes. We affirm for the reasons stated in the
district court's opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      *
      The Honorable Lyle E. Strom, United States District Judge for the District of
Nebraska, sitting by designation.
