On Petition for Review of a Decision and Order of the Benefits Review Board (No. 05-0462-BLA) Submitted: June 15, 2006 Decided: June 19, 2006 Before KING, SHEDD, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Clifford H. Muck, Petitioner Pro Se. Jeffrey Steven Goldberg, Christian P. Barber, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Clifford H. Muck 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. §§ 901-945 (2000). Our review of the record discloses that the Board s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the Board. Muck v. Dir. Office of Workers Comp. Prog., No. 05-0462-BLA (BRB Nov. 30, 2005). 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 -
