PER CURIAM:

     Mildred Clovis 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 on the reasoning of the Board.   See Clovis

v. FMC Mining Equip. Div., No. 01-689-BLA (BRB May 30, 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.

                                                          AFFIRMED
