PER CURIAM:
Laurel Run Mining Company petitions for review of the
Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the
administrative law judge’s award of black lung benefits pursuant
to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2012). Our review of the parties’
briefs and the record on appeal discloses that the Board’s
decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review
for the reasons stated by the Board. Laurel Run Mining Co. v.
Maynard, Nos. 11-0817 BLA; 12-0032 BLA (B.R.B. Oct. 31, 2012).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
