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
