PER CURIAM:

          Windsor Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits Review

Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s

award of black lung benefits on a claim filed by Edgar J. Huggins

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 deny the

petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.   Windsor

Coal Co. v. Huggins, No. 06-0710-BLA (B.R.B. Aug. 15, 2007).    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.

                                                   PETITION DENIED

                              - 2 -
