AFFIRMED.

Before PHILLIPS, MURNAGHAN, and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Charles Thompson 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. §§ 901 et seq. Our review of the record and the Board's decision and order discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. Thompson v. Consolidation Coal Co., BRB Nos. 87-3102-BLA, 232-42-9496 (Ben.Rev.Bd. Nov. 30, 1989). 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

 *

In view of our disposition of this case, Thompson's motion to submit new evidence is denied
