PER CURIAM:
Lorenzo Richardson appeals the district court’s order
denying his request for mandamus relief and affirming the
Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance 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) (2006); Johnson v. Barnhart,
434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir. 2005) (per curiam). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
Richardson v. Soc. Sec. Admin., No. 5:11–cv–00257–BO (E.D.N.C.
July 26, 2012). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
