Before WOLLMAN, BYE, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

       Matthew T. White appeals the district court’s1 order affirming the denial of
child’s insurance benefits. Upon de novo review, we conclude that the administrative

       The Honorable Dean Whipple, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
law judge’s (ALJ’s) opinion is supported by substantial evidence on the record as a
whole, including new evidence the Appeals Council considered. See Davidson v.
Astrue, 501 F.3d 987, 989-90 (8th Cir. 2007). Specifically, we find no validity to the
challenges White raises to the ALJ’s determination of his residual functional capacity
(RFC). See Eichelberger v. Barnhart, 390 F.3d 584, 591 (8th Cir. 2004) (claimant has
burden of establishing RFC; factors in RFC determination). The judgment of the
district court is affirmed.
