PER CURIAM:
Vance Donnell Hester appeals the district court’s
order denying his motion for judgment on the pleadings and
granting the Commissioner’s motion for judgment on the pleadings
in his action seeking review of the Commissioner’s decision to
deny him disability insurance benefits and Supplemental Security
Income under the Social Security Act. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court, Hester v. Astrue,
No. 7:07-cv-00125-D (E.D.N.C. Aug. 12, 2008), and our decision
in Mickles v. Shalala, 29 F.3d 918 (4th Cir. 1994). 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
