PER CURIAM

     Itmann Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits Review

Board’s    decision       and   order    affirming     the       administrative   law

judge’s    award    of    black   lung     benefits    to    former    miner    Marvin

Lawrence, pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 910-944 (2012).                        Our review

of the record leads us to conclude that the Board’s decision is

based on substantial evidence and is without reversible error.

See Lawrence v. Itmann Coal Co., No. 15-0123 BLA (B.R.B. Jan.

29, 2016).     Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.                        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
