PER CURIAM:
Sheryl Starliper appeals the district court’s order
accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and upholding
the Commissioner’s denial of her husband’s application for
disability insurance benefits.* Our review of the Commissioner’s
determination is limited to evaluating whether the findings are
supported by substantial evidence and whether the correct law
was applied. See Mascio v. Colvin, 780 F.3d 632, 634 (4th Cir.
2015). We have thoroughly reviewed the parties’ briefs, the
administrative record, and the joint appendix, and we discern no
reversible error. Accordingly, while we grant Starliper’s
motion to file a supplemental appendix, we affirm the district
court’s judgment. Starliper v. Colvin, No. 1:13-cv-03646-CCB
(D. Md. Jan. 28, 2015). 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
* Sheryl Starliper was substituted as the party in interest
after the claimant’s death.
