PER CURIAM:
Novella J. McKeever appeals the district court’s
order affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny McKeever a
period of disability and disability insurance 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) (2006); Johnson v. Barnhart,
434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir. 2005) (per curiam). We have
thoroughly reviewed the parties’ briefs, the administrative
record, and the materials submitted in the joint appendix, and
we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. See
McKeever v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. 3:09-cv-00339-JRS (E.D. Va.
April 14, 2010). 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
