PER CURIAM:
Plaintiffs, Michael Mason and John Quigley, appeal a decision of the Superior Court dismissing on jurisdictional grounds their appeals from the denial of State Police servicerelated disability pensions by the State Board of Pension Trustees (Pension Board). We affirm on the basis of the well reasoned opinion of the Superior Court. Mason v. Board of Pension Trustees, Del. Super., 468 A.2d 298 (1983). Since there is no statutory method for judicial review of Pension Board decisions we call this matter to the attention of the General Assembly and recommend curative action in connection with the Administrative Procedures Act.
