PER CURIAM: Joyce Turman Campbell appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and upholding the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) denial of Campbell’s application for disability insurance benefits. “In social security proceedings, a court of appeals applies the same standard of review as does the district court. That is, a reviewing court must uphold the determination when an ALJ has applied correct legal standards and the ALJ’s factual findings are supported by substantial evidence.” Brown v. Comm’r Soc. Sec. Admin., 873 F.3d 251, 267 (4th Cir. 2017) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). “Substantial evidence is that which a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. It consists of more than a mere scintilla of evidence but may be less than a preponderance.” Pearson v. Colvin, 810 F.3d 204, 207 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). “In reviewing for substantial evidence, we do not undertake to reweigh conflicting evidence, make credibility determinations, or substitute our judgment for that of the ALJ. Where conflicting evidence allows reasonable minds to differ as to whether a claimant is disabled, the responsibility for that decision falls on the ALJ.” Hancock v. Astrue, 667 F.3d 470, 472 (4th Cir. 2012) (internal quotation marks, brackets, and citation omitted).

We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. The ALJ applied the correct legal standards in evaluating Campbell’s claim for benefits, and the ALJ’s factual findings are supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment upholding the denial of benefits. Campbell v. Comm’r Soc. Sec. Admin., No. 2:23-cv-01011-JD (D.S.C. Feb. 7, 2024). We dispense with oral argument because the USCA4 Appeal: 24-1298 Doc: 25 Filed: 08/01/2025 Pg: 3 of 3

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
