No. 03-2454
STEVEN OWENS,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of Virginia, at Big Stone Gap. Glen M. Williams, Senior
District Judge. (CA-02-65)
Submitted: April 30, 2004 Decided: May 25, 2004
Before WILKINSON, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Steven Owens, Appellant Pro Se. Julie C. Dudley, Assistant United
States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Steven Owens seeks review of the district court’s order
adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to affirm the denial
of Social Security disability income 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. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order for the reasons stated by the district court and the
magistrate judge. See Owens v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. CA-02-65
(W.D. Va. Sept. 23, 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
