Draper L. WOODARD, Petitioner, v. DOMINION COAL COMPANY; Director, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, United States Department of Labor, Respondents.
    No. 02-1203.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Aug. 22, 2002.
    Decided Sept. 19, 2002.
    Draper L. Woodard, Petitioner Pro Se. Ronald Eugene Gilbertson, Bell, Boyd & Lloyd, Washington, D.C.; Patricia May Nece, Christian P. Barber, Helen Hart Cox, United States Department of Labor, Washington, D.C., for Respondents.
    Before WILKINS and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
    Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Draper L. Woodard seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s grant of Dominion Coal’s request for modification of the award of benefits on her deceased husband’s claim and the denial of her survivor’s claim for 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 Woodard v. Dominion Coal Co., No. 01-449-BLA (BRB Feb. 6, 2002). 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.
