PER CURIAM:

           Pauline   Farmer    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.      Farmer v. Dir. Office of Workers’ Comp. Prog., No.

05-0760-BLA (BRB Jan. 24, 2006).        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
