PER CURIAM:

     Edward Moore appeals the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge to uphold the Commissioner’s

decision denying Moore’s application for a period of disability and

disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act.    We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

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

the district court. See Moore v. Barnhart, No. CA-01-8-3 (W.D. Va.

Jan. 31, 2002).   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.
