46 F. App'x 175

Woodard v. Dominion Coal Co.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Draper L. Woodard seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s grant of Dominion Coal’s request for modification of the award of benefits on her deceased husband’s claim and the denial of her survivor’s claim for black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2000). 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. See Woodard v. Dominion Coal Co., No. 01-449-BLA (BRB Feb. 6, 2002). 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.
