Defendant – Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Beckley. R. Clarke VanDervort, Magistrate Judge. (5:09-cv-01515)

Submitted: September 27, 2011 Decided: October 17, 2011

Before WILKINSON, DAVIS, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lorraine King, Appellant Pro Se. Shannon G. Petty, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Lorraine King appeals the magistrate judge’s order

affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny King disability

and supplemental security income insurance benefits. * We must

uphold the decision to deny benefits if the decision is

supported by substantial evidence and the correct law was

applied. See

42 U.S.C. § 405

(g) (2006); Johnson v. Barnhart,

434 F.3d 650, 653

(4th Cir. 2005) (per curiam). We have

thoroughly reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate

judge. King v. Astrue, No. 5:09-cv-01515 (S.D.W. Va. Mar. 3,

2011 & July 8, 2011). 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 the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge. See

28 U.S.C. § 636

(c) (2006).
