PER CURIAM:
Joe Nesbitt appeals from the magistrate judge’s order denying
relief on his petition for review of the Social Security Admin-
istration’s decision affirming an administrative law judge’s denial
of Disability Insurance Benefits and Supplemental Security Income. *
Our review of the record discloses that the administrative law
judge’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
magistrate judge. See Nesbitt v. Apfel, No. CA-99-2217-WMN (D. Md.
Mar. 30, 2000). Nesbitt’s motion for appointment of counsel is
denied. 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
