PER CURIAM:

       Doris Prevette appeals the district court’s order adopting the

magistrate judge’s report and recommendation granting the Commis-

sioner’s motion for summary judgment in Prevette’s action for sup-

plemental security income benefits and affirming the Commissioner’s

determination that Prevette is not disabled.        See Prevette v.

Apfel, No. CA-97-83-5-T (W.D.N.C. Aug. 9, 1999).    We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

err.   We conclude the Commissioner’s decision is supported by sub-

stantial 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
