Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Geraldine Mann appeals the district court’s order affirming

the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying social

security disability 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.       See Mann v. Apfel,

No. CA-97-355-2 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 24, 1998).        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
