Before WILKINSON and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Dorothy P. Glasscock, Petitioner Pro Se. Joseph Daniel Halbert, SHELTON, HELTON,
BRANHAM & HALBERT, PLLC, Lexington, Kentucky; Sean Gregory Bajkowski,
Sarah Marie Hurley, Gary K. Stearman, Office of the Solicitor - Black Lung Division,
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C., for Respondents.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Dorothy P. Glasscock 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 (2012). Glasscock’s informal brief identifies no reversible error in

the Board’s decision.    Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                      PETITION DENIED

                                            2
