SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Lorraine King appeals the magistrate judge’s order
affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny King disability
and supplemental security income insurance benefits. * We must
uphold the decision to deny benefits if the decision is
supported by substantial evidence and the correct law was
applied. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2006); Johnson v. Barnhart,
434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir. 2005) (per curiam). We have
thoroughly reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate
judge. King v. Astrue, No. 5:09-cv-01515 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 3,
2011 & July 8, 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
*
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the
magistrate judge. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2006).
