PER CURIAM:

              Sandra Colegrove 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 for the reasons stated by

the Board.         Colegrove v. Island Creek Coal Co., No. 03-630-BLA

(B.R.B. May 26, 2004).           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

                                         - 2 -
