Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Linda M. Wright seeks review of the district court’s
decision, adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation, affirming
the Commissioner’s denial of social security disability benefits
pursuant to 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(f) (2003). Our review of the
record discloses that the Commissioner’s decision is based upon
substantial evidence and is without reversible error. In addition,
we decline to consider the new evidence that Wright submitted on
appeal because it fails to meet the requirements set forth in
Borders v. Heckler, 777 F.2d 954, 955 (4th Cir. 1985).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See Wright v.
Barnhart, No. CA-02-62-2 (W.D. Va. July 29, 2003). 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
