PER CURIAM.

      Roseann B. Gottschalk appeals the judgment of the district court** affirming the
Social Security Commissioner's denial of disability insurance benefits and

       Jo Anne B. Barnhart has been appointed to serve as Commissioner of Social
Security and is substituted as appellee pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate
Procedure 43(c).

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).
supplemental security income. On appeal, Gottschalk challenges the findings of the
administrative law judge (ALJ) that (1) she retained the ability to perform unskilled
work, and (2) her subjective complaints were not fully credible. After careful review,
we reject both of these arguments and conclude substantial evidence on the record as
a whole, and in particular the findings of a consulting mental health professional,
supported the ALJ's determination Gottschalk was not disabled within the meaning
of the Social Security Act. See Cunningham v. Apfel, 222 F.3d 496, 500 (8th Cir.
2000) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
