UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 96-1885 ANITA RHINEHART, Widow of Will Rhinehart, Petitioner, versus DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION PRO- GRAMS, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Benefits Review Board. (96-311-BLA) Submitted: January 7, 1997 Decided: January 24, 1997 Before WIDENER, ERVIN, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Anita Rhinehart, Petitioner Pro Se. Patricia May Nece, Rodger Pitcairn, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). 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. ยงยง 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp. 1996). 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. Rhinehart v. Director, OWCP, No. 96-311-BLA (B.R.B. May 30, 1996). 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 2
