D. P. MARSHALL, Jr., District Judge.
The Court adopts Judge Young's unopposed recommendation, No 18. FED.R.CIV.P. 72(b)(1983 addition to Advisory Committee Notes). Owens has some serious health issues. But substantial evidence supports the ALJ's determination that Owens has repeatedly failed to stick to his treatment plans. Burnside v. Apfel, 223 F.3d 840, 844 (8th Cir. 2000). Nor did the ALJ err in assigning little weight to Dr. Qadir's or Dr. Ball's opinions, which were conclusory and unsupported by the record. For these reasons, the Commissioner's denial of benefits stands.
So Ordered.
