PER CURIAM:
Kingwood Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits Review
Board’s decision and other affirming the administrative law judge’s
award of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-945
(West 1986 & Supp. 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 on the reasoning
of the Board. See Kingwood Coal Company v. Devall, BRB No. 98-876-
BLA (B.R.B. Feb. 11, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
