Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, FAGG, and HALL,* Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

      Jimmy Hampton appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment
upholding the Commissioner's decision to deny Hampton disability insurance benefits
and supplemental security income. Having carefully reviewed the administrative record
and the parties' submissions, we conclude that no error of fact or law appears and that
an opinion would lack precedential value. We thus affirm the judgment of the district
court without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      *
       The Honorable Cynthia Holcomb Hall, United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth
Circuit, sitting by designation.
