United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 14-1716 ___________________________ Charles John Guetti lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellant v. Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellee ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis ____________ Submitted: September 30, 2014 Filed: October 10, 2014 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Charles Guetti appeals the district court s1 judgment affirming the denial of disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. Following careful de novo review of the record and Guetti s arguments for reversal, we defer to the administrative law judge s (ALJ s) credibility findings, which are supported by adequate reasons and substantial evidence, see Turpin v. Colvin, 750 F. 3d 989, 993 (8th Cir. 2014); we conclude that the ALJ s residual functional capacity assessment is supported by relevant, non-conclusory medical opinions and other evidence in the record, see Wildman v. Astrue, 596 F.3d 959, 964 (8th Cir. 2010); Tellez v. Barnhart, 403 F.3d 953, 956-57 (8th Cir. 2005); and we see no indication that the ALJ misapplied any regulations or guidelines in relying on the testimony of the vocational expert, which constituted substantial evidence to support the ALJ s decision to deny benefits, see Buckner v. Astrue, 646 F.3d 549, 560-61 (8th Cir. 2011). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Michael J. Davis, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Steven E. Rau, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota. -2-
