PER CURIAM:
Anthony E. Sydnor appeals the district court’s order
rejecting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and affirming
the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to deny Sydnor a
period of supplemental security income benefits. We must uphold
the decision to deny benefits if the decision is supported by
substantial evidence and the correct law was applied. See
Johnson v. Barnhart, 434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir. 2005) (per
curiam) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2006)). We have thoroughly
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See
Sydnor v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. 4:11-cv-00013-JLK-BWC (W.D.
Va. Nov. 22, 2011). 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
