Before LOKEN, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

    Cathy Lynn Rodriguez appeals the order of the district court1 affirming the
Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits. For reversal, Rodriguez

      1
       The Honorable P.K. Holmes, III, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas.
contends that the ALJ erred by failing to give controlling weight to her treating
physician’s evaluation. Following careful review of the parties’ submissions and the
record before us, we conclude that the ALJ properly considered and weighed the
physician’s opinion, that the ALJ’s determinations are supported by substantial
evidence on the record as a whole, and that Rodriguez’s arguments do not require
reversal. See Andrews v. Colvin, 
791 F.3d 923
, 928 (8th Cir. 2015). Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
