65 F. App'x 587

Ricky Lee MCDEID, Appellant, v. Jo Anne B. BARNHART, Commissioner of Social Security, Appellee.

No. 02-3859.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Submitted June 6, 2003.

Decided June 12, 2003.

Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, BYE, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Ricky Lee McDeid, who is civilly committed, appeals the district court’s1 order affirming the denial of his application for disability insurance benefits. Mr. McDeid alleged disability from a personality disorder since the date of his civil commitment. At a hearing, a medical expert testified that Mr. McDeid should have no functional work restrictions other than not working around unaccompanied minors, vulnerable adults, or alcohol or drugs, and a vocational expert testified that Mr. McDeid could perform his past relevant work of tree trimming. The administrative law judge (ALJ) accepted these experts’ opinions and found that Mr. McDeid’s impairment was not of listing-level severity and that he retained the residual functional capacity to perform his past relevant work. We conclude that substantial evidence supports the ALJ’s findings. See Pyland v. Apfel, 149 F.3d 873, 876 (8th Cir.1998) (standard of review).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
