PER CURIAM:
Charles H. Wilkes appeals the district court’s order adopting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge and upholding the
Commissioner’s decision denying Wilkes’ application for disability
insurance benefits. We have reviewed the record and the opinion of
the district court and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Wilkes v.
Barnhart, No. CA-01-142-7-BR-1 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 3, 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
