PER CURIAM:

     Dorsey V. Huff appeals the district court’s order upholding

the denial by the Commissioner of Social Security of Huff’s appli-

cation for disability insurance benefits.     We have reviewed the

record and the magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate

judge.   See Huff v. Apfel, No. CA-98-351-R (W.D. Va. Mar. 18,

1999).   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
