Chater, 76 F.3d Cir. 1996). record and We the have thoroughly parties briefs reviewed and find the no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Hodgson v. Barnhart, No. 5:05-cv-00014-FPS (N.D. W. Va. Mar. 27, 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 - 2 -
