PER CURIAM:

          Davidson Mining, Inc., seeks review of the Benefits

Review   Board’s   (“Board”)    decision   and   order   affirming   the

administrative law judge’s award of black lung benefits 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 affirm for the reasons

stated by the Board.    Davidson Mining, Inc. v. Wilcoxen, No. 04-

818-BLA (B.R.B. June 21, 2005).       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.

                                                               AFFIRMED

                                  - 2 -
