PER CURIAM:

     Jeffery E. Page appeals the district court’s order granting

the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment in his action for

disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income and

affirming the Commissioner’s determination that Page is not dis-

abled.   See Page v. Apfel, No. CA-98-182-2 (W.D. Va. June 23,

1999).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error.    We conclude the Commissioner’s

decision is supported by substantial evidence.   See Richardson v.

Perales, 

, 401 (1971).     Accordingly, we affirm.   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.




                                                           AFFIRMED
