Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order* affirming the Secretary's final decision denying her claim for divorced spouse survivor's benefits. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord- ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Evans v. Secretary, HHS, No. CA-94-1662-L (D. Md. June 14, 1995). We dis- pense 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 pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993).
