UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-1573 MARGARET I. ENDRES, for Joseph Endres (deceased), Petitioner, versus DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR; CONSOLIDATION COAL COMPANY, Respondents. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Benefits Review Board. (00-624-BLA) Submitted: September 25, 2001 Decided: October 15, 2001 Before WILKINS and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. C. Patrick Carrick, Morgantown, West Virginia, for Petitioner. William S. Mattingly, JACKSON & KELLY, P.L.L.C., Morgantown, West Virginia, for Respondents. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Margaret I. Endres, the widow of Joseph Endres, petitions for review of a decision of the Benefits Review Board (Board) affirming the administrative law judge’s decision to deny her claim for black lung benefits. Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without revers- ible error. Doss v. Director, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs,
53 F.3d 654, 658 (4th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. See Endres v. Consolidation Coal Co., BRB No. 00-624-BLA (B.R.B. Apr. 6, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
