Plaintiff – Appellant,

v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant – Appellee,

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,

Party-in-Interest – Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Henry E. Hudson, District Judge. (3:07-cv-00307-HEH)

Submitted: November 13, 2008 Decided: November 18, 2008

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Monica M. Taylor, Appellant Pro Se. Jonathan Holland Hambrick, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM

Monica M. Taylor appeals the district court’s order

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and affirming

the Commissioner’s denial of Taylor’s applications for

disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income.

We must uphold the district court’s disability determination if

the decision is supported by substantial evidence and the

correct law was applied. See

42 U.S.C.A. § 405

(g) (West Supp.

2008); Craig v. Chater,

76 F.3d 585, 589

(4th Cir. 1996). We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find

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

the district court. See Taylor v. Astrue, No. 3:07-cv-00307-HEH

(E.D. Va. Apr. 23, 2008). 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.
