Submitted: August 31, 2007 Decided: October 9, 2007

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Mark E. Solomons, Laura Metcoff Klaus, GREENBERG TRAURIG, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Jonathan L. Snare, Acting Solicitor of Labor, Allen H. Feldman, Associate Solicitor, Patricia M.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Betty B Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits Review

Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s

order requiring it to reimburse the Black Lung Disability Trust

Fund (“Trust Fund”) for medical benefits paid by the Trust Fund on

behalf of Art Stanley. 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 Betty B Coal Co. v. DOWCP, Nos. 06-0259-BLA;

03-0547-BLA (BRB Nov. 27, 2006; May 28, 2004). 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
