PER CURIAM:
Anthony E. Sydnor appeals the district court’s order
rejecting

the

magistrate

judge’s

recommendation

and

affirming

the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to deny Sydnor a
period of supplemental security income benefits.

We must uphold

the decision to deny benefits if the decision is supported by
substantial

evidence

and

the

correct

law

was

applied.

See

Johnson v. Barnhart, 434 F.3d 650, 653 (4th Cir. 2005) (per
curiam) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2006)).

We have thoroughly

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

See

Sydnor v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. 4:11-cv-00013-JLK-BWC (W.D.
Va. Nov. 22, 2011).
