United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted Feb. 9, 1998.Decided Feb. 20, 1998.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota.
Before FAGG and MURPHY, Circuit Judges, and SMITH,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM.


1
Joe A. Jacobson appeals the district court's ruling upholding the Commissioner's decision to deny Jacobson disability insurance benefits.  After careful review of the administrative record and the parties' briefs, we conclude substantial evidence supports the decision of the Commissioner that Jacobson is not disabled for social security purposes.  Accordingly, we affirm the district court.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
