See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Linda Miano appeals the magistrate judge’s order
affirming the Commissioner’s denial of supplemental security income
benefits.* We must uphold the decision to deny benefits if the
decision is supported by substantial evidence and the correct law
was applied. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76
F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996). We have thoroughly reviewed the
record and the briefs and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. Miano v.
Barnhart, No. CA-02-162-1 (W.D. Va. Sept. 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
*
The parties consented to review by a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2) (2000).
