See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

      Albert Raymond Cooper appeals the district court’s order

affirming the Commissioner’s denial of Social Security disability

benefits.     We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion   adopting    the   magistrate   judge’s   report   and   find   no

reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. See Cooper v. Apfel, No. CA-99-2735-7-19BD (D.S.C.

Jan. 22, 2001).      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
