UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 01-1736 RONALD B. BOONE, SR., Petitioner, versus NEWPORT NEWS SHIPBUILDING AND DRY DOCK COM- PANY; DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF WORKERS’ COMPEN- SATION PROGRAMS, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Respondents. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Benefits Review Board. (00-0683) Submitted: October 10, 2001 Decided: November 15, 2001 Before LUTTIG and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Ronald B. Boone, Sr., Petitioner Pro Se. Jonathan Henry Walker, MASON, COWARDIN & MASON, P.C., Newport News, Virginia; Carol A. De Deo, Associate Solicitor, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C.; Basil E. Voultsides, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Norfolk, Virginia, for Respondents. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Ronald B. Boone petitions for review of the decision and order of the Benefits Review Board affirming the Administrative Law Judge’s finding that he did not establish good cause to change authorized neurologists and that he was not entitled to a con- tinuing award of benefits under the Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. See 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-950 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001). Our review of the record discloses that the Board's deci- sion is based upon substantial evidence and without reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. See Boone v. Newport News Shipbuilding, No. BRB-00-0683 (B.R.B. Apr. 4, 2001). 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
