PER CURIAM:

          Amy R. Mounts Varney* appeals the district court’s order

adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge to uphold the

Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits.     We have

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

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

Barnhart, No. CA-02-134 (S.D.W. Va. June 23, 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




     *
      Varney initiated this action on behalf of her deceased
father, Bobby B. Mounts, after the Commissioner denied Mounts’
claim for disability insurance benefits.
