Norman L. Miller appeals the district court’s1 order affirming the denial of
disability insurance benefits (DIB). Upon careful review of the record, see Pate-Fires
v. Astrue, 564 F.3d 935, 942 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review), we find no basis for
reversal, see Pyland v. Apfel, 149 F.3d 873, 876 (8th Cir. 1998) (to qualify for DIB,
