    PER CURIAM.
    Cynthia Fox appeals the district court’s1 decision affirming the Commissioner’s
    denial of disability insurance benefits. Fox withdraws her argument that the
    Commissioner’s decision is not supported by substantial evidence, and argues for
    reversal only that the administrative law judge (ALJ) committed legal error by failing

    The Honorable George Howard, Jr., United States District Judge for the
    Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
    Honorable J. Thomas Ray, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
    Arkansas.
    to mention certain medical professionals and their diagnoses. Having carefully
    reviewed the record, it is apparent to us that any deficiency in opinion-writing by the
    ALJ in this case had no practical effect on the outcome and does not constitute a
    sufficient reason for setting aside the administrative decision. See Senne v. Apfel,
    
    198 F.3d 1065
    , 1067 (8th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the
    district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
