Before LOKEN, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
John L. Shelton appeals from the judgment of the district court1 upholding the
Commissioner’s determination that Shelton was not entitled to waiver of recovery of

The Honorable J. Thomas Ray, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
overpaid retirement/survivors benefits, and her decision ordering repayment of social
security benefits he received. Shelton argues that repayment is against equity and
good conscience, because the overpayment was due to the Commissioner’s error, and
because repayment would cause a financial hardship.
Upon de novo review, this court concludes, for the reasons given by the district
court, that substantial evidence supports the Commissioner’s decision. See Andrews
v. Colvin,
791 F.3d 923, 928 (8th Cir. 2015) (standard of review). The judgment is
affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
