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.
