Before MURPHY, HEANEY, and MAGILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      The Secretary of Health and Human Services denied Linda Jackson’s
claim for disability insurance.      The district court1 granted summary
judgment for the Secretary, concluding there was substantial evidence in
the administrative record to support her decision. We affirm on the basis
of the district court opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
