PER CURIAM:

     Mary Ann Smith appeals the magistrate judge’s order upholding

the administrative law judge’s denial of Social Security disability

benefits.*    We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s

opinion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Smith v. Massanari, No. CA-

00-77-7 (W.D. Va. Oct. 31, 2000).     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 the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993 & Supp. 2000).
