Warren A. Taylor, Appellant Pro Se. John Walter Sippel, Jr.,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Warren A. Taylor appeals the district court’s orders
adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation to affirm
the Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits and
denying reconsideration thereof. 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
reviewed the record and find no reversible error or abuse of
discretion. Accordingly, we affirm both orders on the reasoning of
the district court. See Taylor v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No.
CA-04-635-PJM (D. Md. Mar. 15, 2005 & May 23, 2005). 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
