PER CURIAM:
Elk Run Coal Company, Inc., 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. Elk Run Coal Co., Inc. v.
Dir., Office of Workers’ Comp. Programs, No. 11-0305-BLA (B.R.B.
Jan. 30, 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
