PER CURIAM:

            Curtis B. Fink, Sr., appeals the magistrate judge’s order

affirming     the   Commissioner’s      denial    of   disability   insurance

benefits and supplemental security income.*              We must uphold the

decision    to   deny   benefits   if    the     decision   is   supported   by

substantial evidence and the correct law was applied.                  See 42

U.S.C. § 405(g) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir.

1996).   We have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and

find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the magistrate judge. See Fink v. Barnhart, No. 1:04-cv-

00266 (W.D.N.C. filed Apr. 18, 2006; entered Apr. 19, 2006).                 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




     *
      The parties consented to jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
