PER CURIAM:
Pamela S. Purvis appeals the district court’s order accepting
the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation to uphold the
Administrative Law Judge’s denial of her claim for Social Security
disability benefits and Social Security income. We must uphold the
decision to deny disability benefits if it is supported by
substantial evidence and the correct law was applied. 42 U.S.C. §
405(g) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996).
We have reviewed the administrative record, the district court’s
order, and the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and
find no reversible error. Accordingly we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court and the magistrate judge. Purvis v. Comm’r
of the Soc. Sec. Admin., No. CA-00-1052 (M.D.N.C. May 1, 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
