Newport News Shipbld v. Young

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 00-2452 NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING AND DRY DOCK COMPANY, Petitioner, versus THOMAS YOUNG; DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Respondents. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Benefits Review Board. (00-115) Submitted: April 10, 2001 Decided: August 28, 2003 Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and KING, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jonathan H. Walker, Christopher R. Hedrick, MASON, COWARDIN & MASON, P.C., Newport News, Virginia, for Petitioner. Judith E. Kramer, Carol A. De Deo, Mark A. Reinhalter, Julia Mankata, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C. for Respondents. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the Administrative Law Judge’s order denying partial relief under § 8(f) of The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-950 (West 1986 & Supp. 2000). Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is without reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We deny as moot the Employer’s motion to hold the case in abeyance pending resolution of Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v. Winn, 326 F.3d 427 (4th Cir. 2003); Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v. Ward, 326 F.3d 434 (4th Cir. 2003); Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v. Cherry, 326 F.3d 449 (4th Cir. 2003); and Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v. Pounders, 326 F.3d 455 (4th Cir. 2003). 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. PETITION DENIED 2
