Morrison appeals the district court’s order dis- missing her complaint against the Commissioner of the Social Secu- rity Administration. We have reviewed the record 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 Morrison v. Apfel, Commis- sioner, No. CA-99-101-5 (N.D.W. Va. June 23, 2001). 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
