PER CURIAM:

     Appellant Phyllis Phillips appeals the district court’s order

granting the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment and affirm-

ing the denial of disability insurance benefits.   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommen-

dation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Phillips v. Commissioner of Social Security, No. CA-98-21-L (W.D.

Va., Feb. 16, 1999).   We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
