See Local Rule 36(c). _________________________________________________________________ OPINION PER CURIAM: Joanne Marshburn appeals from the magistrate judge's order grant- ing summary judgment to the Commissioner of Social Security on her claim for social security disability insurance benefits. The parties vol- untarily consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge pursuant to
28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the briefs, appendix, and administrative record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. On appeal, Marshburn raises the following issues: (1) the magis- trate judge erred in his determination that substantial evidence sup- ported the Administrative Law Judge's ("ALJ") decision that she is capable of performing a full range of sedentary work; (2) the ALJ improperly ignored the opinion of her treating physician; (3) the ALJ failed to properly analyze her complaints of pain; and (4) the ALJ erroneously determined that she lacked credibility. Our review persuades us that the magistrate judge correctly found that the Commissioner's decision denying benefits was based on sub- stantial evidence. See Hays v. Sullivan,
907 F.2d 1453, 1456 (4th Cir. 1990). We also find that the ALJ properly weighed the opinion of Marshburn's treating physician, see Craig v. Chater,
76 F.3d 585, 590 (4th Cir. 1996), properly analyzed Marshburn's subjective complaints of pain, see
id. at 595, and made a proper credibility finding pursuant to
20 C.F.R. § 404.1529(1999). Accordingly, we affirm on the rea- soning of the magistrate judge. See Marshburn v. Callahan, No. CA 97-503-PJM (D. Md. Feb. 12, 1999). 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 2
