See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order adopting the

report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and affirming the

decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying disability

benefits. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court. McGlocklin v. Apfel, No. CA-95-206-A (W.D.
Va. Dec. 16, 1996). 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
