PER CURIAM:

     Pamela Killian appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment in favor of the Commissioner of Social Security on

Killian’s claim of disability under the Social Security Act.    See

Killian v. Apfel, No. CA-97-97-5-V (W.D.N.C. Sept. 30, 1998).    We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible

error.   Killian fails to show that the decision of the Administra-

tive Law Judge (“ALJ”) was not supported by substantial evidence.

Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
