PER CURIAM:

     Kathy M. Bledsoe appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to the Commissioner in her action seeking judicial

review of the Commissioner’s decision to deny Bledsoe’s application

for disability insurance benefits.    We have reviewed the record,

the district court’s opinion, and the decision of the adminis-

trative law judge and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.     Bledsoe v. Com-

missioner of Social Security, No. CA-00-43-2 (N.D. W. Va. Mar. 28,

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
