(CA-98-125-B) Submitted: May 31, 2000 Decided: June 15, 2000 Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. John P. Bradwell, SHORTIDGE & SHORTIDGE, Norton, Virginia, for Ap- pellant. John M. Sacchetti, Regional Chief Counsel, Lori Karimoto, Assistant Regional Counsel, Office of General Counsel, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Robert P. Crouch, Jr., United States Attorney, John F. Corcoran, Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Betty Deloris Jones appeals the district court’s order accept- ing the recommendation of the magistrate judge and entering summary judgment to the Commissioner in this action challenging the denial of disability insurance benefits. We have reviewed the record, briefs, and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommen- dation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Therefore, we grant the motion to submit the case on the briefs and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Jones v. Apfel, No. CA-98-125-B (W.D. Va. Nov. 2, 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
