PER CURIAM:
Pauline Farmer 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. Farmer v. Dir. Office of Workers’ Comp. Prog., No.
05-0760-BLA (BRB Jan. 24, 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
