Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


Amigo Smokeless Coal Company seeks review of the Benefits Review Board's decision and order affirming the administrative law judge's award of black lung benefits on a claim tiled by Herschel Jenks 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. Amigo Smokeless Coal Co. v. Jenks, No. 05-0529-BLA (B.R.B. Jan. 31, 2006). 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.
