Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

               Thurmond B. Bowers appeals the magistrate judge’s order

upholding the denial of his application for disability insurance

benefits.*       We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

magistrate judge.        See Bowers v. Astrue, No. 3:05-cv-03477-JRM

(D.S.C. Mar. 7, 2007).        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




     *
      The parties consented to referral to a magistrate judge for
final disposition under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
