Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Marcia Lashley appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to Defendant in Lashley’s suit for disability

benefits. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court. See Lashley v. Apfel, No. CA-98-966-1

(M.D.N.C. Mar. 29, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED
