See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Garland Stiltner seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s
decision and orders affirming the administrative law judge’s denial
of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2000), and
denying Stiltner’s motion for reconsideration. 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 Stiltner v. Island
Creek Coal Co., No. 02-257-BLA-A (B.R.B. Nov. 26, 2002 and Mar. 19,
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.
AFFIRMED
