PER CURIAM:
Debbie Pafford appeals the district court’s order
affirming the Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance
benefits and supplemental security income. 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 administrative record and
the briefs and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. See Pafford v.
Barnhart, No. CA-02-186-2 (W.D. Va. Mar. 19, 2004). 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
