• Holding that the sequential evaluation process may be ended at step two if no impairment or combination of impairments is found to be severe.
• affirming ALJ decision where ALJ determined that a crime involving dishonesty or a false statement raised credibility issues
• affirming ALJ’s termination of evaluation at step two because of substantial evidence in record that claimant did not suffer from severe impairment that had more than a minimal effect on his ability to work
• substantial evidence is “less than a preponderance, but enough that a reasonable mind might accept it as adequate to support a decision” (citing Cox v. Apfel, 160 F.3d 1203, 1206-07 (8th Cir.1998))
