PER CURIAM.

Jimmy Hampton appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment upholding the Commissioner's decision to deny Hampton disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. Having carefully reviewed the administrative record and the parties' submissions, we conclude that no error of fact or law appears and that an opinion would lack precedential value. We thus affirm the judgment of the district court without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
