PER CURIAM:
Ethel Rose, on behalf of Taevon Rose, appeals the district
court’s order affirming the Commissioner’s termination of
children’s supplemental security income benefits. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. We must uphold the district court’s disability determination
if it is supported by substantial evidence. 42 U.S.C. § 405(g)
(2000); Hays v. Sullivan, 907 F.2d 1453, 1456 (4th Cir. 1990).
There is substantial evidence in the record for the district
court’s decision to terminate benefits based upon medical
improvement and lack of current disability. 20 C.F.R. §§ 416.924,
416.994a(c) (2000). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the
district court. See Rose v. Barnhart, No. CA-01-1055-H (D. Md.
March 6, 2002). 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
