PER CURIAM:

     Charles Perry seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s de-

cision 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. 1999).   Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s

decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without revers-

ible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.

See Perry v. Cannelton Industries, No. 98-0524-BLA (Mar. 19, 1999).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED
