DISMISSED.
Before HALL and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Lewis G. Campbell 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.A. # 8E8E # 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp. 1992).

2
The Director now concedes that Campbell is entitled to benefits, and counsel for the Respondent has advised the Court that modification proceedings, under 33 U.S.C. § 922 (1988), have begun.  Because the denial of benefits to Campbell is now subject to modification, we dismiss this petition as moot.  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.

DISMISSED
