MEMORANDUM*

2
Mulade Sam Carson petitions pro se for review of the order of the Benefits Review Board of the Department of Labor ("Board"), affirming the decision of the administrative law judge ("ALJ"), summarily dismissing Carson's petitions for modification of the ALJ's order dated on March 6, 1989.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 921(c).  We conclude that the ALJ properly granted respondents' motions to dismiss Carson's petitions for modification because the petitions were filed more than one year after the last payment of benefits.  See 33 U.S.C. § 922;  Intercounty Constr.  Corp. v. Walter, 422 U.S. 1, 9-11 (1975).
