    PER CURIAM:
    Edgar

    A.

    Hill

    appeals

    the

    district

    courts

    order

    affirming the Commissioners decision to deny disability 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, 76 F.3d 585, 589
    (4th Cir. 1996).

    We have thoroughly reviewed the parties briefs,

    administrative record, and the materials submitted in the joint


    appendix, and find no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we affirm.

    Hill v. Astrue, No. 2:06-cv-00032-GMW (W.D. Va. Apr. 19, 2007). 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
