PER CURIAM:

     Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company seeks review of

the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the Admin-

istrative Law Judge’s and District Director’s orders awarding at-

torney’s fees to claimant’s counsel pursuant to the Longshore and

Harbor Workers Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-950 (West 1986

& Supp. 2000).   Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s

decision is without reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the Board. Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock

Co. v. Von Patrick, Nos. 99-789, 00-291 (BRB Apr. 14, 2000).     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
