PER CURIAM:

     Ceres Marine Terminals seeks review of the Benefits Review

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

denial of special fund relief under § 8(f) of the Longshore and

Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. § 908(f) (2000).   Our

review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based

upon substantial evidence.    See Ceres Marine Terminals, Inc. v.

DOWCP, No. 01-841 (BRB July 17, 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.

     The petition for review is accordingly

                                                           DENIED.
