No. 97-1992.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Submitted March 26, 1998.
Filed March 30, 1998.

NOTICE: Eighth Circuit Rule 28A(k) governs citation of unpublished opinions and provides that they are not precedent and generally should not be cited unless relevant to establishing the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, the law of the case, or if the opinion has persuasive value on a material issue and no published opinion would serve as well.

Appeal from the United States v. District Court for the District of Minnesota.

Before FAGG, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

Oscar C. Jefferson, a minor, appeals the district court's1 decision granting summary judgment to the Commissioner and affirming the Commissioner's decision to deny Oscar child's Supplemental Security Income. After carefully reviewing the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude that substantial evidence on the record as a whole supports the Commissioner's decision. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
