Before BOWMAN and LAY, Circuit Judges, and Smith,1 District Judge.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

           Joseph Johnson brings this appeal from the district
court’s2   order   affirming   an   administrative   law   judge   (ALJ)’s
decision to deny him social security disability benefits.               The
district court upheld the ALJ’s ruling because it did not contain
errors of law and was supported by substantial evidence on the
record as a whole.    See Mitchell v. Shalala, 25 F.3d 712, 714 (8th
Cir. 1994).   We have reviewed the parties’ arguments carefully, and
we agree with the district court’s determination.          Because an

opinion would lack precedential value, we affirm without further
discussion.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

     IT IS SO ORDERED.
