v.
DOMINION COAL COMPANY; Director, Office of Workers'
Compensation Programs, United States Department of
Labor, Respondents.
No. 94-2459.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Carl H. Maggard, Petitioner Pro Se. Ronald Eugene Gilbertson, KILCULLEN, WILSON & KILCULLEN, Washington, D.C.; Christian P. Barber, Eileen Mary McCarthy, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C., for Respondents.
Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant 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. Secs. 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp.1994). Our review of the record discloses that the Board's decision is based upon substantial evidence and that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. Maggard v. Dominion Coal Co., No. 92-1476-BLA (B.R.B. Sept. 19, 1994). 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.
