PER CURIAM:
Joy L. Hodgson appeals the district court’s order
adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge
affirming the Commissioner’s denial of supplemental security
benefits. We 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 district court. See Hodgson v. Barnhart, No. 5:05-cv-00014-FPS
(N.D. W. Va. Mar. 27, 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
