                 Bownes, Senior Circuit Judge,
                   and Stahl, Circuit Judge.

     Guillermo Gil, United States Attorney, Lilliam Mendoza Torro,
Assistant United States Attorney, and Nancy B. Salafia, Assistant
Regional Counsel, Social Security Administration, on brief for
appellee.

May 26, 1999

                                
                                

            Per Curiam.  Reinaldo Rivera appeals from the final
  decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying him
  disability benefits.  After careful review of the briefs and
  administrative and district court records, we affirm,
  substantially for the reasons given by the district court in
  its decision dated June 30, 1998 and by the magistrate judge in
  a report and recommendation dated April 16, 1998, which the
  district court approved and adopted.
            Affirmed.
