PER CURIAM:
Brenda C. Clarke appeals the district court’s order rejecting
the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and upholding the
Administrative Law Judge’s denial of claims for Supplemental
Security Income. We affirm.
We must uphold the decision to deny disability benefits if the
decision is supported by substantial evidence and the correct law
was applied. See 42 U.S.C.A. § 405(g) (West Supp. 2001); Craig v.
Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996). We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s order and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
Clarke v. Barnhart, No. CA-01-2007-6-20 (D.S.C. Nov. 2, 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
