PER CURIAM: Consolidation 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 Fuller W. Varner pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2012). Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without reversible error.

Consolidation Coal Co. v. Varner, No. 13-0188-BLA (B.R.B. Feb.

5, 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
