See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Deborah Pruitt appeals the district court's order adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and affirming the Commis- sioner's denial of her disability insurance benefits. We have re- viewed the briefs and the administrative record, and find that substantial evidence supports the Administrative Law Judge's deci- sion denying benefits. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Pruitt v. Apfel, Commissioner, No. CA-98-323 (E.D. Va. Mar. 23, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma- terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
