Nellie H. Roberson, Appellant Pro Se. Ronald Lamar Paxton, UNITED

Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order adopting the

magistrate judge's recommendation to affirm the Commissioner's

denial of social security benefits. 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. Roberson v. Chater,

No. CA-94-1182-23 (D.S.C. Jan. 23, 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.
