    No. 03-1496.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Aug. 28, 2003.
    Decided Oct. 10, 2003.
    S.F. Raymond Smith, Rundle & Rundle, L.C., Pineville, West Virginia, for Petitioner. Robert Weinberger, Employment Litigation Unit, Charleston, West Virginia, for Respondents.
    Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
    Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

Earnel Lusk 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 affirm on the reasoning of the Board. See Lusk v. Stonecoal Branch Mining, Inc., No. 02-713 BLA (BRB Apr. 11, 2003). 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.
