Luz D. Wicks, Appellant Pro Se. Ronald Lamar Paxton, UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES, Atlanta, Georgia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

decision of the Commissioner which denied Appellant disability

insurance benefits but granted supplemental insurance benefits. We

have reviewed the record and the district court's order accepting

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

court. Wicks v. Apfel, No. CA-96-1022-4-6JI (D.S.C. May 2, 1997).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
