PER CURIAM:

             Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company seeks

review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming

the administrative law judge’s denial of relief from continuing

liability for longshore disability benefits pursuant to 33 U.S.C.

§ 908(f) (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 for the reasons stated by

the Board.    Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. v. Bentley,

No. 05-0602 (B.R.B. Apr. 19, 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
