Bhawanee Persaud Plaintiff - Appellant v. Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security Defendant - Appellee
Bhawanee Persaud appeals the district court's 1 order upholding an administrative law judge's (ALJ's) decision finding that he no longer qualified for disability insurance benefits as of January 2004. We agree with the district court that substantial evidence on the record as a whole supports the ALJ's determination that Mr. Persaud's activities at Sungate, Inc., a non-profit human services business he established, amounted to substantial gainful activity under Test Three in the regulation related to the self-employed. See Igo v. Colvin, 839 F.3d 724, 728 (8th Cir. 2016) (de novo review); 20 C.F. R § 404.1575 (a)(2) (2007). The judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

PER CURIAM.
