Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order affirming the

final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying his

claims for a period of disability and disability insurance bene-

fits. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Humphrey v. Callahan, No. CA-96-90-A (W.D. Va.
Apr. 7, 1997). 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
