Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

Submitted: September 30, 1999 Decided: October 18, 1999

Before WILKINS, HAMILTON, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Alan M. Perlman, Silver Spring, Maryland, for Appellant. Lynne A. Battaglia, United States Attorney, Allen F. Loucks, Assistant United States Attorney, Arthur J. Fried, General Counsel, Charlotte Hardnett, Principal Deputy General Counsel, John M. Sacchetti, As- sociate General Counsel, George G. Davidson, Office of the General Counsel, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Muhammed Abduljabar appeals the magistrate judge’s order

granting summary judgment to the Commissioner of Social Security on

Abduljabar’s claim for disability insurance benefits.* Having re-

viewed the briefs and the administrative record, we find that sub-

stantial evidence supported the Administrative Law Judge’s (“ALJ”)

decision denying benefits. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the magistrate judge. See Abduljabar v. Apfel, CA-98-2193-DKC

(D. Md. Mar. 8, 1999). Additionally, we note that the ALJ’s opin-

ion properly assessed Abduljabar’s credibility and accurately

considered the evidence of Abduljabar’s attention deficit disorder.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions 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 magis- trate judge pursuant to

(c)(1) (1994).
