PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Charles Hash seeks review of the Benefits Review Board's decision and order affirming the administrative law judge's denial of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.A. # 8E8E # 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp. 1993).  Our review of the record and the Board's decision and order discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.*  Hash v. Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, No. 91-1407-BLA (Ben. Rev. Bd. Nov. 27, 1992).  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

 We also grant the Respondent's motion to file a response brief out of time
