PER CURIAM:
Michael T. Lester appeals the district court’s order upholding
the denial of Lester’s application for supplemental security in-
come. We have reviewed the record, 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 Lester v. Apfel, No. CA-98-119-1 (W.D.
Va. Dec. 9, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
