ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Ruth M. Tonder appeals the district court’s order granting the

Commissioner of Social Security’s motion for summary judgment and

affirming the denial of social security disability insurance bene-

fits.   We have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court. See Tonder v. Apfel, No. CA-99-3207-WMN (D.

Md. Sept. 20, 2000).    We further deny as moot Tonder’s motion to

expedite.     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
