PER CURIAM:

          West Virginia Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis Fund seeks

review   of   the   Benefits   Review   Board’s   decision   and   order

affirming the administrative law judge’s award 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.      Peck v. Premium Energy, Inc., No. 11-0698-

BLA (B.R.B. July 31, 2012).         We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

                                                       PETITION DENIED
