    PER CURIAM:
    Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company seeks review of
    the Benefits Review Boards decision and order affirming the Administrative Law Judges and District Directors orders awarding attorneys fees to claimants counsel pursuant to the Longshore and
    Harbor Workers Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C.A. 901-950 (West 1986
    & Supp. 2000).

    Our review of the record discloses that the Boards

    decision is without reversible error.

    Accordingly, we affirm on

    the reasoning of the Board. Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
    Co. v. Von Patrick, Nos. 99-789, 00-291 (BRB Apr. 14, 2000).

    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
