Boone v. Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Boone v. Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., 21 F. App'x 231 (4th Cir. 2001)

Boone v. Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Ronald B. Boone petitions for review of the decision and order of the Benefits Review Board affirming the Administrative Law Judge’s finding that he did not establish good cause to change authorized neurologists and that he was not entitled to a continuing award of benefits under the Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. See 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-950 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001). Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and without reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. See Boone v. Newport News Shipbuilding, No. BRB-00-0683 (B.R.B. Apr. 4, 2001). 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.
