PER CURIAM:

           Island Creek Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits

Review Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative

law judge’s award of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.

§§ 901-945 (2006).    Our review of the record discloses that the

Board’s decision is based on substantial evidence and is without

reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny the petition for review

for the reasons stated by the Board.                Island Creek Coal Co. v.

Dewitt, No. 07-0741-BLA (B.R.B. May 30, 2008).                 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.

                                                                PETITION DENIED
