PER CURIAM:
Charles K. Laster appeals the district court's order that,
based upon a report and recommendation of a magistrate judge, up-
held the Administrative Law Judge’s denial of his claims for Social
Security Disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income.
We must uphold the decision to deny disability benefits if the
decision is supported by substantial evidence and the correct law
was applied. See 42 U.S.C.A. § 405(g) (West Supp. 2001); Craig v.
Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996). We have reviewed the
record and the district courts order and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court and
the magistrate judge. Laster v. Massanari, No. CA-99-226-1 (N.D.W.
Va. Mar. 7, 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
