PER CURIAM:

     Patina Varney appeals the district court's order affirming the

Commissioner's denial of children's Supplemental Security Income

benefits. 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. Varney v. Chater, No. CA-95-477
(S.D.W. Va. July 24, 1996). 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
