PER CURIAM:
Ernestine Brock seeks review of the magistrate judge’s order*
affirming the Commissioner’s denial of social security benefits
pursuant to 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(f) (2002). Our review of the
record discloses that the Commissioner’s decision is based upon
substantial evidence and is without reversible error. In
particular, we find that substantial evidence supports a finding
that Brock retains the residual functional capacity to perform
medium work and, therefore, is able to return to her past relevant
work as a certified nursing assistant. Accordingly, we affirm the
magistrate judge’s order. Brock v. Barnhart, No. CA-01-2488-JFM
(D. Md. Aug. 15, 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
