UNPUBLISHED

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Irene Hitchens appeals the district court's order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation and upholding the Commissioner's denial of Hitchens' applications for disability benefits and supplemental security income. Our review of the Commissioner's determination is limited to evaluating whether the findings are supported by substantial evidence and whether the correct law was applied. See Mascio v. Colvin, 780 F.3d 632, 634 (4th Cir. 2015).

We have thoroughly reviewed the parties' briefs, the administrative record, and the joint appendix, and we discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. Hitchens v. Colvin, No. 7:13-cv-00040-FL (E.D.N.C. Dec. 9, 2014). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
