See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Eddie Allen appeals the district court’s order upholding the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying Allen’s application for disability insurance benefits and supple- mental security income. We have reviewed the record, the briefs, and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Allen v. Apfel, No. CA-98-1015-3-22BC (D.S.C. May 11, 1999). 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
