PER CURIAM:
Edmond D. Stephens appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting
the Commissioner’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and
affirming the Commissioner’s order denying Social Security
benefits. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. See Stephens v. Barnhart, No. CA-04-575-3 (S.D. W.
Va. Sept. 28, 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
