Robertson H. Wendt, Jr., LAW OFFICES OF ROBERTSON WENDT, North Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellant. Deana R. Ertl-Lombardi, Regional Chief Counsel, Yvette G. Keesee, Deputy Regional Chief Counsel, Thomas S. Inman, Assistant Regional Counsel, Carolyn Cooper, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Denver, Colorado, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Thurmond B. Bowers appeals the magistrate judge’s order

upholding the denial of his application for disability insurance

benefits.* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

magistrate judge. See Bowers v. Astrue, No. 3:05-cv-03477-JRM

(D.S.C. Mar. 7, 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

* The parties consented to referral to a magistrate judge for final disposition under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2000).
