Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Chad William Lensing appeals the district court’s1 order affirming the denial
of disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. For reversal,
Lensing raises claims regarding the administrative law judge’s (ALJ’s) failure to
develop the record, the ALJ’s findings on what constituted severe impairments, the
credibility assessments made, and the lack of weight that the ALJ gave to medical
source statements and restrictions that were noted by treating mental health care
providers. Following a careful and thorough review of the record, we conclude that
the ALJ’s determination is supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole,
that Lensing’s arguments do not support reversal, and that an extended discussion is
not warranted. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
                       ______________________________

Arkansas.
