AFFIRMED.

Before MURNAGHAN, SPROUSE and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Beulah Rose appeals from the district court's order affirming the secretary's decision to deny her deceased husband's application for disability benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act, as amended. 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. Rose v. Sullivan, Secretary of Health and Human Services, CA-89-39-B (W.D.Va. Mar. 11, 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.
