PER CURIAM.
Kenneth L. Smith, Jr., appeals from the decision of the district court1 affirming
an administrative law judge’s decision denying him disability insurance benefits.
1
The Honorable Ronnie L. White, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
Having carefully reviewed the record before us and the parties’ submissions on
appeal, we conclude that substantial evidence on the record as a whole supports the
adverse decision. See Johnson v. Colvin, 788 F.3d 870, 872 (8th Cir. 2015)
(substantial evidence is that which reasonable mind would accept as adequate to
support Commissioner’s decision). The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
