PER CURIAM:
John Smith appeals the magistrate judge’s order granting
summary judgment to the Commissioner of Social Security.* Smith
brought an action in the district court pursuant to 42 U.S.C.A.
§ 405(g) (West Supp. 2000) seeking review of a final decision of
the Commissioner of Social Security denying Smith’s claim for
Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental Security Income. We
have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s opinion and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the magistrate judge. See JA 65-80. 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 proceed before a magistrate judge.
