PER CURIAM:

            Virgil    H.    Sutherland       appeals   the     district     court’s

order granting the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment,

and     affirming    the    decision     of    the     Commissioner       to   deny

Sutherland disability insurance benefits.                We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.             Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.                Sutherland v. Comm’r

of Soc. Sec., No. 1:08-cv-00541-MR (W.D.N.C. June 28, 2010).                     We

grant    Sutherland    leave    to   proceed     in    forma    pauperis.        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
