See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Charles H. Boone appeals from 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 benefits. We have thoroughly reviewed the administrative

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. See Boone v. Apfel, No. CA-99-192

(W.D. Va. May 23, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
