PER CURIAM:

     Dianna Wood appeals the district court's order affirming the

Commissioner of Social Security’s finding that she is not disabled

and therefore not entitled to disability benefits.     We have re-

viewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

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

district court.     See Wood v. Commissioner, No. CA-96-167-B (W.D.

Va. Sept. 23, 1998).    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
