Before WOLLMAN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Keith Brown appeals the district court’s1 order affirming the denial of
supplemental security income and disability insurance benefits. Following de novo
review, see Myers v. Colvin, 721 F.3d 521, 524 (8th Cir. 2013), we conclude that the
administrative law judge’s (ALJ’s) credibility analysis was proper, that the residual
functional capacity determination was supported by the record, and that the
vocational expert’s testimony that Brown could perform a significant number of jobs
existing in the national economy was based on a properly phrased hypothetical
question and constituted substantial evidence to support the ALJ’s assessment, see
Buckner v. Astrue, 646 F.3d 549, 560-61 (8th Cir. 2011).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable James R. Marschewski, United States Magistrate Judge for the
Western District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by
consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
