PER CURIAM:

     William S. Randolph appeals the district court’s order affirm-

ing the Commissioner of Social Security’s finding that he is not

disabled    and   therefore   not   entitled   to   disability   benefits.

Randolph argues that the Commissioner erred in finding that his

impairments did not meet or equal section 1.05C of the listing of

impairments, in evaluating his residual functional capacity, in

evaluating his pain, and in finding that he is capable of per-

forming at a restricted light work level.           We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

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

court.   See Randolph v. Apfel, Commissioner, No. CA-97-542 (S.D.W.

Va. Sept. 30, 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.
