No. 12-1985

LORENZO RICHARDSON,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:11-cv-00257-BO)

Submitted: December 13, 2012 Decided: December 18, 2012

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lorenzo Richardson, Appellant Pro Se. Mark J. Goldenberg, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Lorenzo Richardson appeals the district court’s order

denying his request for mandamus relief and affirming the

Commissioner’s denial of 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

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

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

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

Richardson v. Soc. Sec. Admin., No. 5:11–cv–00257–BO (E.D.N.C.

July 26, 2012). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
