Submitted: July 11, 2007 Decided: July 25, 2007

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

John P. Bradwell, SHORTRIDGE & SHORTRIDGE, P.C., Abingdon, Virginia, for Appellant. Michael McGaughran, Regional Chief Counsel, Nora R. Koch, Supervisory Regional Counsel, Elizabeth A. Corritore, Special Assistant United States Attorney, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; John L.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Julia A. Ratliff appeals the district court’s order

denying her motion for summary judgment and granting the

Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment on her claim for

supplemental security income benefits. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. See Ratliff v. Astrue, No.

2:06-cv-00005-GMW (W.D. Va. Dec. 20, 2006). 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
