PER CURIAM.

    Douglas Sample appeals from the district court’s2 order affirming the
Commissioner’s decision denying him supplemental security income under Title XVI

      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska, sitting by designation.
      2
      The Honorable Charles R. Wolle, Chief United States District Judge for the
Southern District of Iowa.
of the Social Security Act. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’
briefs, we conclude that the decision of the Commissioner is supported by substantial
evidence on the record as a whole and that Sample is not entitled to supplemental
security income. Because an extended opinion would serve no useful purpose in this
fact-intensive case, we affirm the decision of the district court without further
discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
