Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Abingdon. James P. Jones, Chief District Judge. (1:07-cv-00090-jpj-pms)

Submitted: November 24, 2009 Decided: December 28, 2009

Before MOTZ, KING, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Edward E. Stroupe, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Shawn C. Carver, Robert W. Kosman, Assistant Regional Counsel, Taryn F. Jasner, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Edward E. Stroupe, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

affirming the final decision of the Commissioner of Social

Security that Stroupe was not entitled to supplemental security

income. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. See Stroupe v. Astrue, No. 1:07-cv-00090-jpj-

pms (W.D. Va. Feb. 9, 2009). 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
