PER CURIAM:
James M. Clark appeals the district court's order adopting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and affirming the Commis-
sioner's decision setting an onset date for award of disability
benefits. We have reviewed the briefs and the administrative
record, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on
the reasoning of the district court. Clark v. Apfel, No. CA-98-519
(E.D. Va. May 18, 1999). 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
