PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order affirming

the Secretary's final decision denying her claim for disability

benefits. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court. Mangus v. Chater, Commissioner of Social
Security, No. CA-94-171-2 (S.D.W. Va. Jan. 11, 1996). 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
