Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Beth P. Gesner, Magistrate Judge. (1:11-cv-00723-BPG) Submitted: November 20, 2012 Decided: November 26, 2012 Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, and SHEDD and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Lacey S. Mitchell, Appellant Pro Se. Alex Gordon, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Lacey S. Mitchell appeals the magistrate judge’s order affirming the Commissioner’s denial of 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 reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. Mitchell v. Comm’r, Soc. Sec., No. 1:11-cv-00723-BPG (D. Md. June 14, 2012). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED * The parties consented to proceeding before a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 (2006). 2
