PER CURIAM:

          Chris Rhodes appeals the district court’s order granting

the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment and affirming the

Commissioner’s   denial   of   Social   Security   benefits.   We   have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.           See Rhodes v.

Commissioner, No. CA-04-22-1 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 31, 2005). 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
