PER CURIAM:
Lorene Bucklen seeks review of the Benefits Review
Board’s decisions and orders affirming the administrative law
judge’s denial of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-
945 (2000) and denying 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
for the reasons stated by the Board. Bucklen v. Jewell Smokeless
Coal Corp., No. 05-0593-BLA (B.R.B. Feb. 15, 2006; Nov. 9, 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
