PER CURIAM.
Kristoffer R. Bryan appeals the district court’s order affirming the denial of1
supplemental security income. For reversal, Bryan argues that (1) the Administrative
The Honorable Kristine G. Baker, United States District Judge for the Eastern1
District of Arkansas.

law Judge’s (ALJ’s) residual functional capacity determination was not supported by
substantial evidence and failed to account adequately for his mental impairments; (2)
the ALJ erroneously failed to find that his bipolar disorder and personality disorder
were severe impairments; and (3) the ALJ erroneously failed to find that his affective
disorder met or medically equaled Listing 12.04. Following careful review of the
parties’ submissions and the record before us, we conclude that each of Bryan’s
arguments lacks merit. This is because substantial evidence in the record as a whole
supports the ALJ’s findings regarding residual functional capacity, the severity of
Bryan’s impairments, and his failure to meet listing requirements. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
