PER CURIAM:

     Ceres Corporation seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s

decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s award

of longshore benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-945 (West 1986

& Supp. 2001) and holding that Ceres is the responsible employer.

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 LeDuce

v. Ceres Corp., No. 00-839; 00-839-A (BRB May 17, 2001).   We dis-

pense 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
