PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Jimmie Rose 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. §§ 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp. 1992).  The applicable filing period for appeals to this Court from decisions of the Board is sixty days.  33 U.S.C.s 921(c)(1988).  We have held that the failure to file a petition for review in the Circuit Court within the time period prescribed by § 921(c) deprives the court of jurisdiction to consider the appeal.   See Adkins v. Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, 889 F.2d 1360 (4th Cir. 1989).


2
In view of Rose's failure to file a timely petition for review, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  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.

DISMISSED
