Jerry L. Williams, Jr., WILLIAMS, LUCK & WILLIAMS, Danville, Virginia, for Appellant. James A. Winn, Assistant Regional Chief Counsel, Patricia M. Smith, Deputy Chief Counsel, Andrew C. Lynch, Assistant Regional Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; John L. Brownlee, United States Attorney, Julie C.

PER CURIAM:

Emma L. Hand seeks review of the magistrate judge’s order*

affirming the Commissioner’s denial of social security benefits

pursuant to

(f), 416.920(f) (2002). Our review

of the record discloses that the Commissioner’s decision is based

upon substantial evidence and is without reversible error. In

particular, we find that substantial evidence supports a finding

that Hand is unable to meet the requirements of either 20 C.F.R.

Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1, § 1.03 (1998) or 20 C.F.R. Part

404, Subpart P, Appendix 1, § 1.02 (2002). Accordingly, we affirm

the magistrate judge’s order. Hand v. Commissioner of SSA, No. CA-

01-38-4 (W.D. Va. Aug. 26, 2002). 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

* The parties consented to review by a magistrate judge pursuant to

(c)(2) (2000).
