See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Peter J. Di Lauro appeals the district court’s order accepting

the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and granting

summary judgment in favor of the Commissioner in this action chal-

lenging the Commissioner’s decision denying Di Lauro’s application

for disability insurance benefits. We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court. See Di Lauro v. Apfel,

No. CA-97-90-4-BO (E.D.N.C. Sept. 29, 1998). 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.
