PER CURIAM:

          Peabody Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits Review

Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s

award of black lung benefits on a claim filed by Don J. Morgan

pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-45 (2000).    Our review of the record

discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon substantial

evidence and is without reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the Board.   See Peabody Coal Co. v. Morgan, No.

03-135-BLA (BRB Oct. 31, 2003).      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
