    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 15-1066
    IRENE HITCHENS,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    v.
    CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
    Defendant - Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of North Carolina, at Wilmington. Louise W. Flanagan,
    District Judge. (7:13-cv-00040-FL)
    Submitted:   November 30, 2015              Decided:   December 29, 2015
    Before WILKINSON and FLOYD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    William   Lee   Davis,   III,  Lumberton,   North  Carolina,   for
    Appellant.    Thomas G. Walker, United States Attorney, R.A.
    Renfer, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, David N. Mervis,
    Special   Assistant   United  States   Attorney,  Raleigh,   North
    Carolina, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Irene Hitchens appeals the district court’s order adopting
    the   magistrate           judge’s   recommendation          and    upholding   the
    Commissioner’s denial of Hitchens’ applications for disability
    benefits and supplemental security income.                     Our review of the
    Commissioner’s        determination is limited to evaluating whether
    the findings are supported by substantial evidence and whether
    the correct law was applied.                 See Mascio v. Colvin, 
    780 F.3d 632
    , 634 (4th Cir. 2015).
    We    have    thoroughly       reviewed    the    parties’      briefs,   the
    administrative record, and the joint appendix, and we discern no
    reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
    judgment.         Hitchens v. Colvin, No. 7:13-cv-00040-FL (E.D.N.C.
    Dec. 9, 2014).        We dispense with oral argument because the facts
    and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
    before     this    court    and   argument    would    not    aid   the   decisional
    process.
    AFFIRMED
