PER CURIAM:
Tina L. Hunt appeals the district court’s order affirming
the Commissioner’s denial of supplemental security income benefits.
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. See Hunt v. Barnhart, No. CA-04-146 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 29,
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
