PER CURIAM:
Melvin J. Moody appeals the district court’s order and
judgment affirming the Commissioner’s decision denying disability
insurance benefits and Social Security Income payments. 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) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir.
1996). We have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and
the parties’ briefs and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Moody v.
Barnhart, No. CA-04-127-H (E.D.N.C. Sept. 13, 2005). 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
