Dottie M. Womack, Appellant Pro Se. Sara Bugbee Winn, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Dottie M. Womack seeks review of the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge to affirm the

Commissioner’s denial of social security benefits pursuant to 20

C.F.R. §§ 404.1520(c), 416.920(c)(2002).      Our review of the record

discloses     that   the   Commissioner’s   decision   is    based   upon

substantial evidence and is without reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.           See Womack v.

Barnhart, No. CA-01-59 (W.D. Va. Sept. 16 & 27, 2002).        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
