PER CURIAM:

     Roger D. Parsons appeals from the district court’s order up-

holding the Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of disability

benefits.     We have reviewed the briefs and administrative record

and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the rea-

soning of the district court. See Parsons v. Apfel, No. CA-97-251-

B (W.D. Va., Oct. 1, 1998).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                           AFFIRMED
