PER CURIAM:
Patricia Ann Pratt appeals the district court’s order
accepting a magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss Pratt’s
complaint regarding social security benefits for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. We have reviewed the record and the
district court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Pratt v.
Sec’y, Dep’t of Health & Human Servs., No. CA-01-2145-MJG (D. Md.
filed Apr. 15 & entered Apr. 16, 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
