Submitted: February 24, 2006 Decided: March 13, 2006

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Leonard Stayton, Inez, Kentucky, for Petitioner. Robert Weinberger, WORKERS’ COMPENSATION DEFENSE DIVISION, Charleston, West Virginia; Howard M. Radzely, Solicitor of Labor, Allen H. Feldman, Associate Solicitor, Christian P. Barber, Counsel for Appellate Litigation, Jeffrey S. Goldberg, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C., for Respondents.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Ace Chaney seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s

decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s denial

of black lung benefits pursuant to

(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

Chaney v. Golden Chance Mining, No. 05-130-BLA (BRB June 29, 2005).

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
