PER CURIAM:

          Malcolm L. Bazzie seeks review of the Benefits Review

Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s

denial of Bazzie’s petition for modification of a decision that

denied 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 deny the petition for the reasons stated by the

Board.    See   Bazzie   v.   Eastern    Associated   Coal   Corp.,   No.

07-0357-BLA (B.R.B. Jan. 4, 2008).       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.

                                                       PETITION DENIED
