PER CURIAM:
Carolyn R. Sturgill appeals the district court’s order affirm-
ing the Commissioner’s denial of supplemental security income bene-
fits. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion
and find that substantial evidence supports the Commissioner’s
decision. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. Sturgill v. Apfel, Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. CA-96-127-B
(W.D. Va. Feb. 26, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
