Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Joyce R. Jordan appeals the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment
affirming the Social Security Commissioner’s decision to deny her application for
supplemental security income. Having reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we
conclude that no error of law or fact appears and that an opinion would lack
precedential value. We affirm the district court’s judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

        The Honorable Russell G. Clark, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
