PER CURIAM:
Rebecca J. McMahan appeals the magistrate judge’s order
and judgment affirming the Commissioner’s denial of supplemental
disability insurance benefits for her minor son.* 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 parties’ briefs and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. See
McMahan v. Barnhart, No. 1:04-cv-00216 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 17, 2006).
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 the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
