PER CURIAM:

Sheryl Starliper appeals the district court’s order

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and upholding 

the Commissioner’s denial of her husband’s application for 

disability insurance benefits.* Our review of the Commissioner’s 

determination is limited to evaluating whether the findings are 

supported by substantial evidence and whether the correct law 

was applied. See Mascio v. Colvin, 780 F.3d 632, 634 (4th Cir. 

2015). We have thoroughly reviewed the parties’ briefs, the 

administrative record, and the joint appendix, and we discern no 

reversible error. Accordingly, while we grant Starliper’s 

motion to file a supplemental appendix, we affirm the district 

court’s judgment. Starliper v. Colvin, No. 1:13-cv-03646-CCB 

(D. Md. Jan. 28, 2015). We dispense with oral argument because 

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the 

materials before this court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process. 

AFFIRMED

 * Sheryl Starliper was substituted as the party in interest 

after the claimant’s death.
