Respondents.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the Benefits Review Board. (13-0224 BLA)
Submitted: October 30, 2015 Decided: November 5, 2015
Before GREGORY and KEENAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jeffrey R. Soukup, JACKSON KELLY PLLC, Lexington, Kentucky, for Petitioner. M. Patricia Smith, Solicitor of Labor, Rae Ellen James, Associate Solicitor, Gary K. Stearman, Ann Marie Scarpino, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C.; Heath M. Long, PAWLOWSKI, BILONICK & LONG, Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, for Respondents.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
McElroy Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits Review
Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law
judge’s award of black lung benefits on a claim filed by Donn L.
Wnek pursuant to
30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945(2012). Upon our review
of the record, we conclude that the Board’s decision is
supported by substantial evidence and is without reversible
error. See McElroy Coal Co. v. Dir., Office of Workers’ Comp.
Programs, No. 13-0224 BLA (B.R.B. Jan. 14, 2014). Accordingly,
we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before this Court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
