Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

David Brewster seeks review of the Benefits Review

Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law

judge’s denial of 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 deny the petition for

review for the reasons stated by the Board. Brewster v.

Westmoreland Coal Co., Inc., No. 07-0835-BLA (B.R.B. June 30,

2008). 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.

PETITION DENIED
