PER CURIAM:
Francyne J. Cooper seeks review of the Benefits Review
Board’s order affirming the administrative law judge’s orders
denying her motion to set aside a settlement agreement under the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C.
§§ 901-950 (2012), and denying reconsideration, and the Board’s
order denying reconsideration. Our review of the record
discloses that the Board’s decisions are based upon substantial
evidence and are without reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Cooper’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis and deny the
petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.
Cooper v. Northrup Grumman Shipbuilding, Inc., BRB No. 14-0039
(Aug. 5 & Oct. 7, 2014). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
