Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Clifford H. Muck 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 for the reasons stated by

the Board.      Muck v. Dir. Office of Workers’ Comp. Prog., No.

05-0462-BLA (BRB Nov. 30, 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
