United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Josephine Harris appeals the magistrate judge’s order
upholding the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to deny
her disability insurance benefits. * Our review of the
Commissioner’s disability determination is limited to evaluating
whether the findings are supported by substantial evidence and
whether the correct law was applied. See Johnson v. Barnhart,
434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir. 2005). “Substantial evidence is
such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as
adequate to support a conclusion.” Id. (internal quotation
marks omitted). We do not reweigh evidence or make credibility
determinations in evaluating whether a decision is supported by
substantial evidence; “[w]here conflicting evidence allows
reasonable minds to differ as to whether a claimant is
disabled,” we defer to the Commissioner’s decision. Id.
(internal quotation marks omitted).
With this framework in mind, we have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
magistrate judge’s order. Harris v. Comm’r, Soc. Sec., No.
1:11-cv-01516-SAG (D. Md. filed Feb. 6, 2013 & entered Feb. 7,
2013). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the
magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2006).

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
