PER CURIAM:

     Denese Douglas appeals the district court’s order accepting a

magistrate judge’s report and recommendation to uphold the Admin-

istrative Law Judge’s denial of her claims for Social Security dis-

ability benefits.   We must uphold the decision to deny disability

benefits if the decision is supported by substantial evidence and

the correct law was applied.    42 U.S.C.A. § 405(g) (West Supp.

2001); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996).    We have

reviewed the briefs, the administrative record, and the district

court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court and the magistrate judge.

Douglas v. Massanari, No. CA-00-1147-4-13BF (D.S.C. June 21, 2001).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.
