See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Robert Hagan seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s

decision and order affirming the Administrative Law Judge’s award

and computation of benefits pursuant to the Longshore and Harbor

Workers Compensation Act, 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-945 (West 2001 & Supp.

2002). 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 Hagan v.

Smith, BRB No. 01-586 (B.R.B. Apr. 12, 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.
