Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

              Anthony E. Sydnor appeals the district court’s order

rejecting     the   magistrate      judge’s      recommendation      and    affirming

the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to deny Sydnor a

period of supplemental security income benefits.                     We must uphold

the decision to deny benefits if the decision is supported by

substantial     evidence      and    the    correct    law    was     applied.     See

Johnson v. Barnhart, 434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir. 2005) (per

curiam) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2006)).                   We have thoroughly

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                      Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                            See

Sydnor v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. 4:11-cv-00013-JLK-BWC (W.D.

Va. Nov. 22, 2011).          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
