    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.
    1
    The Honorable James M. Rosenbaum, Chief Judge, United States District
    Court for the District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the
    Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of
    Minnesota.
    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.
