PER CURIAM:

       Myra Tyler petitions for review of the Benefits Review Board’s (Board) decision

and order affirming the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) dismissal of her request for a

modification of a prior order denying her claim for benefits under the Longshore and

Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. See 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-950 (2012). The ALJ found

that Tyler’s request for a modification was untimely, and the Board concluded that the

ALJ’s decision was rational, supported by substantial evidence, and in accordance with

law.

       “We review the Board’s decision for errors of law and to determine whether the

Board adhered to its standard of review. The Board’s standard of review requires that the

ALJ’s findings of fact be considered conclusive if supported by substantial evidence in the

record considered as a whole.” Metro Mach. Corp. v. Dir., Office of Workers’ Comp.

Programs, 

, 687 (4th Cir. 2017) (citation and internal quotation marks

omitted). “Substantial evidence is more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant

evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.” Sea “B”

Mining Co. v. Addison, 

, 252 (4th Cir. 2016) (internal quotation marks

omitted).

       Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon

substantial evidence and is without reversible error. See 33 U.S.C. § 922; Wheeler v.

Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., 

, 286-87 (4th Cir. 2011).

Accordingly, we deny Tyler leave to proceed in forma pauperis and deny the petition for

review for the reasons stated by the Board. Tyler v. Main Indus., Inc., No. 17-0106 (B.R.B.

                                            3
Aug. 15, 2017). 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
