PER CURIAM:

     Louise Berry 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 Berry v.

Director, Office of Workers’ Comp. Prog., No. 01-0854-BLA (BRB

May 10, 2002).   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
