PER CURIAM:

        Ernestine Brock seeks review of the magistrate judge’s order*

affirming the Commissioner’s denial of social security benefits

pursuant to 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(f) (2002).                    Our review of the

record discloses that the Commissioner’s decision is based upon

substantial         evidence     and   is    without    reversible   error.       In

particular, we find that substantial evidence supports a finding

that Brock retains the residual functional capacity to perform

medium work and, therefore, is able to return to her past relevant

work as a certified nursing assistant.                 Accordingly, we affirm the

magistrate judge’s order.              Brock v. Barnhart, No. CA-01-2488-JFM

(D. Md. Aug. 15, 2002).          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

        *
       The parties consented to review by a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2) (2000).
