Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

            Salil   V.    Desai   appeals     the   district   court’s    order

affirming the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision denying

Social   Security    Disability       and    Supplemental   Security     Income

benefits.     We    must     uphold    the    district   court’s   disability

determination 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, 

, 589 (4th Cir. 1996).                     We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no

reversible error.        Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     Desai v. Commissioner of Social Security, No. CA-

03-93 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 6, 2004).              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.
