PER CURIAM:
Appellant 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.A. §§ 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp.
1995). 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. Salyer v.
Director, Office of Workers' Compensation, No. 94-162-BLA (B.R.B.
Jan. 11, 1995). 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
