PER CURIAM:
M.M., widow of N.M., seeks review of the Benefits
Review Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative
law judge’s denial of longshore disability benefits pursuant to
33 U.S.C. §§ 901-950 (2006). Universal Maritime APM Terminals
seeks review of the administrative law judge’s denial of its
request to submit additional evidence on remand. Our review of
the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon
substantial evidence and is without reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny the petitions for review for the reasons
stated by the Board. M.M. v. Universal Maritime APM Terminals,
Nos. BRB-08-0213; BRB-08-0213A; and Universal Maritime APM
Terminals v. M.M., Nos. BRB-08-0212; BRB-08-0212A (Sept. 30,
2008). 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.
