PER CURIAM:

               Novella    J.     McKeever        appeals    the    district      court’s

order affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny McKeever a

period of disability and 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) (2006); Johnson v. Barnhart,

434 F.3d       650,    653     (4th Cir. 2005)       (per     curiam).          We    have

thoroughly        reviewed      the   parties’      briefs,       the    administrative

record, and the materials submitted in the joint appendix, and

we   find    no     reversible    error.         Accordingly,      we    affirm.       See

McKeever v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. 3:09-cv-00339-JRS (E.D. Va.

April 14, 2010).             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
