Virgil H. Sutherland, Appellant Pro Se. Rami M. Vanegas, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Boston, Massachusetts, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Virgil H. Sutherland appeals the district court’s

order granting the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment,

and affirming the decision of the Commissioner to deny

Sutherland disability insurance benefits. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court. Sutherland v. Comm’r

of Soc. Sec., No. 1:08-cv-00541-MR (W.D.N.C. June 28, 2010). We

grant Sutherland leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 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
