PER CURIAM:

           Jennifer L. Stalls appeals the district court’s order

adopting   the   magistrate      judge’s   recommendation   to     uphold   the

Commissioner’s    denial    of   Stalls’    application   for    supplemental

security   income   and    disability      insurance   benefits.     We     have

reviewed the record and briefs and find that the Commissioner’s

decision is supported by substantial evidence and the correct law

was applied.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.     See Stalls v. Barnhart, No. CA-01-414-1 (M.D.N.C.

May 2, 2003).    We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                                     AFFIRMED
