Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
William C. Thompson appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment to the Commissioner and affirming the Commissioner's denial of disability insurance benefits. 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 reviewed the record and find no reversible error or abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the order on the reasoning of the district court. See Thompson v. Commissioner, Soc. Sec. Admin., No. CA-04-43-2 (W.D.Va. Sept. 25, 2005). We also deny Thompson's motion for appointment of counsel. 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
