PER CURIAM:
Edsil B. Keener 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.
§§ 901-945 (2006). Our review of the record discloses that the
Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is
without reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the petition for
review for the reasons stated by the Board. Keener v. DOWCP,
No. 08-0261-BLA (B.R.B. Nov. 25, 2008). 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
