PER CURIAM:

           Elijah Dolan appeals the district court’s order adopting

the magistrate judge’s report and affirming the Commissioner’s

denial of disability insurance benefits.            We must uphold the

decision   to   deny   benefits   if   the   decision   is   supported   by

substantial evidence and the correct law was applied.              See 42

U.S.C. § 405(g) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir.

1986).   We have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and

the parties’ briefs and find no reversible error.        Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.          See Dolan v.

Barnhart, No. 2:03-0208 (S.D. W. Va. Jan. 5, 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
