PER CURIAM:

     Eva Wright seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s deci-

sion and order affirming the administrative law judge’s denial of

black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-945 (West 1986

& Supp. 2000).   Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s

decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without revers-

ible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.

See Wright v. DOWCP, Nos. 99-976-BLA; 99-176-BLA. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                           AFFIRMED
