PER CURIAM:

     Terry Lee Tucker appeals the district court’s order denying

disability insurance benefits. We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Tucker

v. Apfel, No. CA-99-126-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Jan. 19, 2000). 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
