PER CURIAM:
Tammy Campbell appeals the district court’s order
adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to uphold the
Commissioner’s denial of Campbell’s application for disability
insurance benefits. Our review of the Commissioner’s disability
determination is limited to evaluating whether the findings are
supported by substantial evidence and whether the correct law
was applied. See Johnson v. Barnhart,
434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th
Cir. 2005). “Substantial evidence is such relevant evidence as
a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a
conclusion.”
Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). We do not
reweigh evidence or make credibility determinations in
evaluating whether a decision is supported by substantial
evidence; “[w]here conflicting evidence allows reasonable minds
to differ as to whether a claimant is disabled,” we defer to the
Commissioner’s decision.
Id. (internal quotation marks
omitted).
Against this framework, we have thoroughly reviewed
the parties’ briefs, the administrative record, and the joint
appendix, and we discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Campbell
v. Colvin, No. 3:12-cv-00623-JAG (E.D. Va. Oct. 2, 2013). We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
2
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
