PER CURIAM:
Therman Jones appeals the district court’s order
affirming the Commissioner’s decision to deny Jones a period of
disability and 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 thoroughly reviewed the
parties’ briefs, administrative record, and the materials
submitted in the joint appendix, and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm. See Jones v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec.,
No. 3:09-cv-00590-RLW (E.D. Va. June 3, 2010). 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
