    judges

    order

    granting summary judgment to the Commissioner of Social Security on


    Abduljabars claim for disability insurance benefits.*

    Having re-

    viewed the briefs and the administrative record, we find that substantial evidence supported the Administrative Law Judges (ALJ)
    decision denying benefits. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
    of the magistrate judge.
    (D. Md. Mar. 8, 1999).

    properly

    assessed

    See Abduljabar v. Apfel, CA-98-2193-DKC

    Additionally, we note that the ALJs opinAbduljabars

    credibility

    and

    accurately

    considered the evidence of Abduljabars attention deficit disorder.


    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

    The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(c)(1) (1994).
