PER CURIAM.

    John T. Maclin appeals the district court&s1 order
granting summary judgment affirming the Commissioner&s
decision to deny Maclin disability insurance benefits
(DIB) and supplemental security income (SSI). After a
careful review of the record and the parties& submissions
we conclude substantial evidence on the record as a whole

       1
       The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable
Arthur J. Boylan, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
supports the ALJ&s conclusion that Maclin was engaged in
substantial gainful activity during the period for which
he seeks benefits, and thus was ineligible for DIB or
SSI.    Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of       the
district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

                   CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
