PER CURIAM:

          Edgar    A.   Hill   appeals    the   district   court’s   order

affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny disability 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 thoroughly reviewed the parties’ briefs,

administrative record, and the materials submitted in the joint

appendix, and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we affirm.

Hill v. Astrue, No. 2:06-cv-00032-GMW (W.D. Va. Apr. 19, 2007). 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
