Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 95 F.3d 1155 (8th Cir. 1996) Submitted Aug. 13, 1996. Decided Aug. 28, 1996

Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Don L. Clarke appeals the district court's decision upholding the Commissioner's determination that Clarke was a self-employed individual instead of a common law employee from 1973 to 1984, and that his earnings record could not be revised. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude substantial evidence supports the decision of the Commissioner and no further discussion is warranted. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1007 (relevant factors for determining employment status); Adams v. Sullivan, 928 F.2d 725, 726-27 (6th Cir. 1991) (standard of review). We affirm the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
