PER CURIAM:
Dwaine Rasnake seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s
decision and orders affirming the administrative law judge’s dis-
missal of his claim for black lung benefits filed pursuant to 30
U.S.C.A. §§ 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp. 2001), and denying recon-
sideration. Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s
decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without revers-
ible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.
See Rasnake v. Director, Office of Workers’ Compensation Prog., No.
00-735-BLA (BRB Apr. 19, 2001; Sep. 25, 2001). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
