PER CURIAM:

            Mary    R.    Herron    appeals      the   district    court’s   order

affirming the Commissioner’s denial of social security disability

and supplemental security income benefits.                 We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.

            We     must        uphold    the      Commissioner’s      disability

determination if it is supported by substantial evidence.                        42

U.S.C. § 405(g) (2000); Hays v. Sullivan, 907 F.2d 1453, 1456 (4th

Cir. 1990).      Having thoroughly reviewed the administrative record,

we agree with the district court that substantial evidence supports

the Commissioner’s final decision denying disability benefits.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.   Herron v. Commissioner of Social Security, No. CA-02-60-2

(W.D. Va. June 19, 2003).          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

                                        - 2 -
