PER CURIAM:

          William   Milhoan   appeals    the   district   court’s    order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge to affirm the

Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits.         We must

uphold the decision to deny benefits if the decision is supported

by substantial evidence and the correct law was applied.            See 42

U.S.C. § 405(g) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir.

1996).   We have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and

find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.    See Milhoan v. Barnhart, No. CA-03-

2051-2 (S.D. W. Va. Mar. 30, 2005).      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 -
