AFFIRMED.

Before DONALD RUSSELL, MURNAGHAN and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Kenneth Allen appeals from the district court's order affirming the Secretary's denial of Allen's claim for disability benefits under the Social Security Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 416(i) and 423. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Allen v. Sullivan, No. CA-90-17-B (W.D.Va. Aug. 21, 1991). 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.

2

AFFIRMED.
