OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Donald H. Starcher 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. §§ 901-945.   Our review of the record and the Board's decision and order discloses that this appeal is without merit.   Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm on the reasoning of the Board.   Starcher v. Majestic Mining Co., 90-1905-BLA (Ben.Rev.Bd. May 22, 1991).   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.

2
AFFIRMED.
