PER CURIAM:
Kenneth M. Case appeals the magistrate judge’s order
affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny disability insurance
benefits and supplemental security income.* 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) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir.
1996). We have thoroughly reviewed the parties’ briefs,
administrative record, and the materials submitted in the joint
appendix, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm.
See Case v. Astrue, No. 8:06-cv-02293-BHH (D.S.C. Oct. 1, 2007).
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 in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
