PER CURIAM:

       Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. seeks review of the

Benefits    Review    Board’s     decision        and   order   affirming    the

administrative law judge’s award of temporary partial disability

benefits pursuant to 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-950 (West 2001).                     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 Newport

News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. v. Jacobs, No. 00-1180 (B.R.B.

Sept. 14, 2001).      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
