Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

            Mary F. Linville 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

(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 on the reasoning of the

Board.     See Linville v. Island Creek Coal Co., No. 04-439-BLA

(Jan. 13, 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 -
