Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the magistrate judge's* orders affirming the
denial of disability insurance and denying his motion for recon-

sideration. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's

opinions and orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Williams v. Calla-

han, No. CA-92-202-B (W.D. Va. Mar. 11 & 31, 1997). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED




    *
      Parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge
under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
