PER CURIAM:

           Clinchfield Coal Company petitions for review of the

Benefits     Review     Board’s       decision    and    order     affirming      the

administrative law judge’s award of black lung benefits pursuant

to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2012).                  Our review of the parties’

briefs   and    the    record    on    appeal    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.                   Clinchfield Coal Co. v.

Bostic, No. 13-0046-BLA (BRB Sept. 25, 2013).                    We dispense with

oral   argument       because    the    facts    and    legal    contentions      are

adequately     presented    in    the    materials      before    this    court   and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                  PETITION DENIED
