Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Douglas M. Gooslin, Jr., 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.A. §§ 901-945
(West 1986 & Supp. 2001). 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 Gooslin v. Director, Office of Workers’ Comp.
Program, No. 00-1082-BLA (July 31, 2001). 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
