¶1Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

¶2Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

¶3Lacey S. Mitchell appeals the magistrate judge’s order 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) (2006); Johnson v. Barnhart, 434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir.2005) (per curiam). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. Mitchell v. Comm’r, Soc. Sec., No. 1:11-cv-00723-BPG (D. Md. June 14, 2012). 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.

¶4AFFIRMED.

¶5 The parties consented to proceeding before a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 (2006).
