EDWARD E. STROUPE, JR.,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis-

(CA-00-54-1)

Submitted: July 12, 2001 Decided: July 19, 2001

Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Edward E. Stroup, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Margaret J. Krecke,
SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Julie
C. 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Edward E. Stroupe, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

affirming the Commissioner’s decision denying him Social Security

benefits. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court. See Stroupe v. Apfel, No. CA-

00-54-1 (W.D. Va. Mar. 2, 2001). 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
