PER CURIAM:
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company seeks
review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming
the administrative law judge’s award of survivor’s longshore
benefits pursuant to 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-45 (2000). 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 Seely v. Newport News
Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., No. 02-724-BRB (BRB June 30, 2003).
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
