PER CURIAM:
Draper L. Woodard seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s
decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s grant
of Dominion Coal’s request for modification of the award of
benefits on her deceased husband’s claim and the denial of her
survivor’s claim for 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 on the reasoning of the
Board. See Woodard v. Dominion Coal Co., No. 01-449-BLA (BRB
Feb. 6, 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.
AFFIRMED
