Sparks v. Bill Branch Coal Corp.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Sparks v. Bill Branch Coal Corp., 88 F. App'x 575 (4th Cir. 2004)

Sparks v. Bill Branch Coal Corp.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Shirley Sparks seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order reversing the administrative law judge’s award of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-45 (West 1986 & Supp. 2003). 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 Sparks v. Bill Branch Coal Corp., Nos. 95-478-BLA; 02-620-BLA (B.R.B. July 30, 2003). 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
