Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

Decided December 2, 1991No. 91-1459PublishedCited by 43 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

LOKEN, Circuit Judge.

Shannon Russell appeals an order of the district court1 affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services to deny his application for Social Security disability and supplemental security income (SSI) benefits because he is not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act. See 42 U.S.C. §§ 423 and 1381a. Because substantial evidence on the record as a whole supports the Secretary’s decision, we affirm.
