PER CURIAM:

             Linda   Miano   appeals   the   magistrate   judge’s   order

affirming the Commissioner’s denial of supplemental security income

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. 1996).         We have thoroughly reviewed the

record and the briefs and find no reversible error.         Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge.       Miano v.

Barnhart, No. CA-02-162-1 (W.D. Va. Sept. 29, 2003).         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 review by           a   magistrate   judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2) (2000).
