Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

              Deon Maurice Holmes appeals the district court’s order

adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge,

granting summary judgment to the Commissioner, and thus affirming

the Commissioner’s denial of disability insurance benefits.                 We

must uphold the decision to deny benefits 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   find   no

reversible error.       Accordingly, we deny Holmes’ motion for change

of physician and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

See Holmes v. Social Sec. Admin., No. CA-04-590-3-HEH (E.D. Va.

Oct. 12, 2005).     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.
