PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court’s order granting the
Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment on Appellant’s complaint
seeking review of the Commissioner’s denial of social security
benefits. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the
reasoning of the magistrate judge. Persinger v. Apfel, Comm’r, No.
CA-97-4 (S.D.W. Va. Oct. 24, 1997). 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 deci-
sional process.
AFFIRMED
