UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-1719

PATRICIA G. PLUMMER,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Richard L. Voorhees, District Judge. (5:11-cv-00006-RLV-DSC)

Submitted: October 31, 2012 Decided: November 6, 2012

Before NIEMEYER, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Daniel S. Johnson, North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, for Appellant. Anne M. Tompkins, United States Attorney, Charlotte, North Carolina, Luis Pere, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Social Security Administration, Boston, Massachusetts, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Patricia G. Plummer appeals the district court’s order

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to affirm the

Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to deny Plummer

disability 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

parties’ briefs, administrative record, and the materials

submitted in the joint appendix, and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm. See Plummer v. Astrue, No. 5:11-cv-

00006-RLV-DSC (W.D.N.C. May 22, 2012). 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
