Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Edgar A. Hill appeals the district court’s order
affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny disability benefits.
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 parties’ briefs,
administrative record, and the materials submitted in the joint
appendix, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm.
Hill v. Astrue, No. 2:06-cv-00032-GMW (W.D. Va. Apr. 19, 2007). 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
