Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
      Lisa R. Lopez appeals the judgment of the district court1 affirming the
Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits and supplemental security
income, after her hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). Liberally
construing her brief, which largely consists of materials generated after the ALJ’s
decision in this matter, Lopez appears to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence
supporting the ALJ’s decision. Following careful review, we conclude that the
decision is supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole, and that the
post-decision materials do not require remand for consideration by the Commissioner.
See Myers v. Colvin, 721 F.3d 521, 524 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review); Woolf
v. Shalala, 3 F.3d 1210, 1215 (8th Cir. 1993) (requirements for remand for
consideration of additional evidence).

      Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________
