Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Darryl W. Stevens appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny Stevens a period
of disability insurance benefits and supplemental security
income. 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 record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. Stevens v. Astrue, No. 6:09-cv-00041-nkm-mfu
(E.D. Va. Feb. 8, 2011). 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
