Laster v. Massanari, Comm
Opinion
Charles K. Laster appeals the district court’s order that, based upon a report and recommendation of a magistrate judge, upheld the Administrative Law Judge’s denial of his claims for Social Security Disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income.
We must uphold the decision to deny disability benefits if the decision is supported by substantial evidence and the correct law was applied. See 42 U.S.C.A. § 405(g) (West Supp. 2001); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996). We have reviewed the record and the district courts order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court and the magistrate judge. Laster v. Massanari, No. CA-99-226-1 (N.D.W.Va. Mar. 7, 2001).
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.
