PER CURIAM:
Frances E. Williams seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s
decision and orders affirming the administrative law judge’s denial
of survivor’s benefits under the Federal Coal Mine Health and
Safety Act of 1969, as amended, see 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-945 (West
1994 & Supp. 1999), and denying her motion for reconsideration.
Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is
based upon substantial evidence and is without reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. See Williams
v. T & S Coal Co., Nos. 99-371-BLA; 97-1973-BLA (BRB Nov. 17, 1999
& Jan. 18, 2000). 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
