Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Brenda L. Jamison 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 Jamison

v. Olga Coal Co., No. 01-0952-BLA (BRB July 19, 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
