PER CURIAM:
Lavonia Ferguson 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 on the reasoning of the Board. See Ferguson
v. DOWCP, No. 02-630-BLA (BRB Apr. 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
