Dudley, Assistant United States Attorney, Roanoke, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Carol L. Prior appeals the magistrate judge’s order granting
the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment, and affirming the
Commissioner’s decision denying disability insurance benefits and
supplementary security income.1 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.2
See Prior v. Apfel, No. CA-96-213-B (W.D. Va. Mar. 19, 1998). 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
1
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
2
We note that Prior submitted to this court medical reports
prepared subsequent to the district court’s final judgment and
order. We find that the reports do not constitute material new
evidence and thus no remand is warranted. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g)
(1994); Wilkins v. Secretary, Dep’t of Health & Human Servs., 953
F.2d 93, 95-96 (4th Cir. 1991).
