Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order affirming

the secretary's decision to designate his former wife as the

representative payee for benefits due to his minor son. We have

reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. Foy v. Chater, Commissioner, CA-94-919-5-BR-1
(E.D.N.C. Dec. 28, 1995). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
