                                   _____________

Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                              _____________


PER CURIAM.


     Janet R. Root appeals a decision of the district court upholding the
Commissioner's denial of disability insurance benefits.     Having carefully
reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that no error of
law appears.      Because an opinion would have no precedential value, we
affirm without an opinion.       See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
