Opinion

No. 06-2192.

Submitted: August 29, 2007.

Decided: September 14, 2007.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Beth P. Gesner, Magistrate Judge. (1:05-cv-03424-BPG).

Jeffrey R. Scholnick, Hood Scholnick, P.A., Towson, Maryland, for Appellant. Rod J. Rosenstein, United States Attorney, Allen F. Loucks, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Before MOTZ and KING, Circuit Judges, and WILKINS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


James V. Lowery appeals the magistrate judge's order 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 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996). We have thoroughly reviewed the materials submitted in the joint appendix and the parties' briefs and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. See Lowery v. Barn hart, No. 1:05-cv-03424-BPG (D.Md. Sept. 11, 2006). 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.

The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).

AFFIRMED.
