Ariana Wright Arnold, Divya Bharadwaja, Neil Ray White, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Benjamin H. Keith, III, appeals the magistrate judge’s

decision* upholding the decision of the Commissioner of the Social

Security Administration to deny Keith’s application for additional

retirement benefits under 42 U.S.C. § 417 (2000). We have reviewed

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

for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge.      See Keith v.

Commissioner of SSA, No. CA-01-131-1-JKB (D. Md. filed June 16,

2004; entered June 17, 2004).     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




     *
      The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge. 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
