PER CURIAM:
Wilbert O. Hosey seeks review of the Benefits Review
Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s
denial of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945
(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 for the reasons stated by
the Board. Hosey v. Valley Camp Coal Co., No. 05-1007-BLA (BRB May
25, 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
