United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 14-3159 ___________________________ Lisa R. Lopez lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellant v. Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellee ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana ____________ Submitted: April 22, 2015 Filed: April 27, 2015 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Lisa R. Lopez appeals the judgment of the district court1 affirming the Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income, after her hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). Liberally construing her brief, which largely consists of materials generated after the ALJ’s decision in this matter, Lopez appears to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the ALJ’s decision. Following careful review, we conclude that the decision is supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole, and that the post-decision materials do not require remand for consideration by the Commissioner. See Myers v. Colvin, 721 F.3d 521, 524 (8th Cir. 2013) (standard of review); Woolf v. Shalala, 3 F.3d 1210, 1215 (8th Cir. 1993) (requirements for remand for consideration of additional evidence). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). -2-
