PER CURIAM:
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company seeks review of
the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the
Administrative Law Judge’s order denying partial relief under §
8(f) of 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 deny the petition for review. We deny as
moot the Employer’s motion to hold the case in abeyance pending
resolution of Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v. Winn, 326
F.3d 427 (4th Cir. 2003); Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.
v. Ward, 326 F.3d 434 (4th Cir. 2003); Newport News Shipbuilding &
Dry Dock Co. v. Cherry, 326 F.3d 449 (4th Cir. 2003); and Newport
News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v. Pounders, 326 F.3d 455 (4th
Cir. 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.
PETITION DENIED
