PER CURIAM: Peggy Gilbert, surviving spouse of Grant P. Gilbert, seeks review of the Benefits Review Board's decision and order reversing the administrative law judge's award of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2006). Our review of

the record discloses that the Board's decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. 07-0850-BLA (B.R.B. Gilbert v. Island Creek Coal Co., No. 25, 2008). We dispense with oral

July

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED
