Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. See Parks v. Apfel, No. CA-97-900-5 (S.D.W. Va., Aug. 21, 1998). Because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process, we dispense with oral argument and grant Parks’ motion to submit this appeal on the briefs. AFFIRMED * The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(2) (1994). 2
