Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Peggy Gilbert, surviving spouse of Grant P. Gilbert,

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

reversing 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 upon

substantial    evidence    and       is   without   reversible    error.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons

stated by the Board.       Gilbert v. Island Creek Coal Co., No.

07-0850-BLA   (B.R.B.   July   25,    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
