PER CURIAM: John Bednarek seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s denial of longshore benefits pursuant to 33 U.S.C.A. § 901-950 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without revers- ible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the Board. See Bednarek v. Ceres Corp., BRB No. 94-458 (B.R.B.

Jan. 16, 1998). 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
