See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Petitioner seeks review of a Railroad Retirement Board deci-

sion affirming the Hearing Officer’s decision to dismiss his action

seeking additional retirement benefits.   We have reviewed the rec-

ord and the Board’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.      See Bailey v.

United States R.R. Retirement Bd., No. A-000-00-2782 (RRB Apr. 9,

1998).   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
