PER CURIAM:
William E. Flanigan appeals the magistrate judge’s* order up-
holding the final administrative decision denying Flanigan’s appli-
cation for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security
income. We have reviewed the record and opinion of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the magistrate judge. See Flanigan v. Apfel, No. CA-
98-2344-H (D. Md. Sept. 14, 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
*
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (West 1994 & Supp. 1999).
