    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant 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.A. §§ 901-945
     (West 1986 & Supp.
    1997). 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. Wampler v.
    Michael Trucking Co., No. 97-547-BLA (BRB Dec. 22, 1997). We dis-
    pense 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
